Well, that didn’t go to plan.
The 49ers missed the chance to improve to 4-2 on Sunday, as they were upset by the Atlanta Falcons in a 28-14 defeat at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, failing to score in the second half as their offense misfired and the defense struggled to hold up under the weight of a plethora of injuries.
It is by no means a disaster for the 49ers, who still lead the NFC West at 3-3 and did witness some impressive performances even amid an incomplete overall team effort.
So who stood out and who contributed to the 49ers’ downfall in Atlanta? Let’s look at the good and the bad from a game to forget.
