Receivers regress
A week after shining in the Superdome, the 49ers receiving corps took a step back. The trio of Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne combined for four catches and 49 yards on nine targets. They simply didn’t have an impact Sunday, and the result was a sputtering offense that didn’t move the ball unless it was thrown to Kittle. That group can’t disappear down the stretch. The 49ers won’t go far if they do.
