It was a complete team effort to hold the Rams to only nine points in the game. The 49ers’ defense locked up the Rams all night. They had seven total sacks, led by Nick Bosa and Samson Ebukam having two sacks a piece, and stud safety Talanoa…

The San Francisco 49ers dominate the Seattle Seahawks 27-7 on a windy and rainy day at Levi’s Stadium. However, the day was not great for San Francisco despite the 20-point win over their division rival. Injury Issues Injuries have plagued the 49ers this season.

The San Francisco 49ers play the Seattle Seahawks in their home opener. There are a lot of 49ers to watch in their matchup with the Seahawks. 49ers to watch: Jeff Wilson Jr. Starting running back Elijah Mitchell was placed on the injured reserve, so Wilson Jr. steps into the starting running back role. In inclement weather, he was not impressive rushing the ball in week one against the Bears, with only 22 yards on nine carries. Hopefully, the field at Levi’s stadium will be more playable than at Soldier Field. Wilson Jr. is a player on the 49ers to watch…

The San Francisco 49ers start their season on the road against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Here are the 49ers to watch in week one against the Bears. Elijah Mitchell The second-year running back is one of many 49ers to watch in the opening game. Injury issues have been a concern with Mitchell.
