Why 49ers coaching is NFL’s best this year, and Bears running wild: Week 7 film review (paywall)
“The 49ers staff was on top of breaking its own tendencies and staying on top of the Falcons’ tendencies. It was the difference in the game in which the Falcons had a significant health advantage. On top of the schematics, the 49ers staff has them playing with conviction. I’m not sure where the ceiling is for this team with how many crucial injuries they’ve had, but this will be a team none of the NFC contenders will want to see in the playoffs.”

49ers overreactions: George Kittle was the unsung hero in Week 7 win vs. Falcons
“Matt Hennessy stepped in and did a very good job after starting center Jake Brendel sustained a hamstring injury. So Hennessy deserves a lot of credit for being mentally and physically prepared to handle the assignment.
The 49ers’ run game got off to a very strong start while Brendel was on the field, and he was having a good game.
San Francisco gained 86 yards on 12 rushing attempts while Brendel was in the game for a 7.2-yard average.
Before the final two kneel-downs at the end of the game for minus-2 yards, the 49ers gained 90 yards on 25 rushing attempts after Brendel’s injury. The 49ers gained half the yards (3.6) on the ground per rushing attempt after Brendel’s injury.
Again, Hennessy did his job, but Brendel has been the 49ers’ starter the past four seasons for a reason.“
