The San Francisco 49ers made plenty of statements on Sunday afternoon during their demolition of the reigning NFC Champions on their home turf in Philadelphia. The most important one came from the defense, which had been carved up a couple of times already this season before limiting the Eagles to 19 points, one of just three times Philly has been held under 20 points in a game which Jalen Hurts played the last two seasons. Was it a fluke? Was it just an off game from one of the league’s MVP favorites? Or are the San Francisco 49ers onto something?
Well, if you ask Nick Bosa, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, he’ll tell you the 49ers have figured out the blueprint to slowing down the machine that is the Philadelphia Eagles offense.
