3) By the look of the stats, it appears the 49ers defense struggles with mobile quarterbacks like Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson. Is that accurate and why/why not?

Their elusiveness helps mitigate some of the impact of the 49ers’ pass rush. Wilson escaped a sack on a third-and-long in overtime that gave him time to convert on a throw down the field. He also threw a touchdown pass on a play he kept alive with his legs.

Murray’s success was a little different. His first stat line was a touch inflated because of an 88-yard touchdown pass that was aided by multiple mistakes in coverage and tackling down the field. However, his accuracy on short throws and the threat of escaping the pocket keeps the 49ers’ pass rush at bay. Their secondary is good, but it’s at its best when it can play aggressive behind a dominant defensive front. Murray and the Cardinals offense was better at keeping them off balance with throws to the sidelines.

Another thing Arizona did that led to success vs. San Francisco was line up Christian Kirk on Richard Sherman. Sherman stays on the left side and committed three pass interference penalties on the speedy second-year WR. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Hollywood Brown get some run against Sherman on Sunday.
