Dud: The run game

This category should add to the legend of Garoppolo’s game. The run game was non-existent, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game he purposely abandoned the rushing attack in the second half. Their 34 yards on the ground were by far their lowest total of the season. It eclipsed the 87-yard low they set last week. The lack of run game made the offense one-dimensional. They ran it just 19 times compared to 45 passes.
