When you watch this team play, it is clear that Brock Purdy is telling the truth. The ability to spread the ball around so everybody can contribute to the success the 49ers are having has been a huge reason for their dominant play. With a great balance of rushing and passing from the offense and the super-talented defense, San Francisco knows how to win games as a team.
Offensive Dominance
In the first game of the season against the Steelers, the 49ers dominated the game on all sides of the ball, which led them to win 30-7. Purdy went for 220 passing yards and two touchdowns, both of them going to star receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Running back Christian McCaffrey also had a great game, rushing for 152 yards and a touchdown. Other stars on the 49ers’ offense, including Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle, were rather quiet in Sunday’s game. However, as we all know and expect, it is only a matter of time until these guys get going, which will lift this team even more as the season progresses.
Defensive Success
The 49ers’ formidable defense serves as a great compliment to their dominant offense. The San Francisco defense was able to get five sacks and nine quarterback hits against the Steelers in week one. To go along with this, interceptions by Talanoa Hufanga and Charvarius Ward shut down the passing game from Pittsburgh. Overall, this defense looks like it can be one of, if not the best, in the league this season.
Overall Team Play
What the 49ers have going on is very special. Brock Purdy is absolutely right; the unselfishness from every teammate has helped San Francisco get to where they are now, which is Super Bowl contenders. As the season gets underway here in 2023, it will be interesting to follow this team’s journey and see what kind of success they can amount to.
