Drop problems

Drops were a huge issue for the 49ers on Monday. Kyle Juszczyk dropped a deep ball over the top. Dante Pettis failled to bring in a would-be first down as well. Kendrick Bourne had a pair of drops — one that led to an interception, another that would’ve put them in position for a game-winning touchdown instead of a game-tying field goal at the end of regulation. Marquise Goodwin had one on San Francisco’s first series that would’ve given them a first down deep in the red zone. The 49ers needed their receivers to step up with Kittle out, and they did the opposite.
