These past few weeks have been rather hectic in the regular season for the NFL. I don't think anyone doubted that the Patriots would be undefeated this early in the season, but looking at all the other teams that lost their winning streak in the last few weeks, and analyzing the 49ers past records, almost every prediction putting Cleveland over San Francisco, was laid to shame as the Niners tore apart the Cleveland browns on both sides of the ball all night for a score of 31-3.
Now let's first talk about the elephant in the room...the Niners defensive line. Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckener had a field day, tearing through the Browns' Offensive Line, barley giving Mayfield any time to breath in the pocket. Also, we have to give props to Emmanuel Moseley, stepping in for Ahkello Witherspoon, in this game for one of the most athletic pass coverage blocks I've ever seen, deterring Cleveland from even getting one mere touchdown.
On the Niners' offensive side, Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman are straight-up beasts. Breida with an 83-yard touchdown on the Niner's first play of the game was astounding and Coleman's grit and aggression really showed in this game as he fought for every yard. Not to mention they are both really really fast.
Now, what does that mean for all the other teams in the NFL? Well this puts a lot of pressure on all the teams in the NFC, especially in the west since the Seahawks loss to New Orleans, they have a slot right behind the Niners, but San Francisco may have a little wiggle room given Seattle's lucky win over the Los Angeles Rams the other night.
The 49ers face LA in their next road game, so we'll see if they continue to produce. Currently, New England and San Francisco are the only undefeated teams in the NFL, but San Francisco has had a marginal lead in difficulty in their current schedule over New England, even with the odds stacked heavily against them against the Browns. It's still early in the season so we'll see where this all leads.
