It was one other week of defensive ineptitude for the s. Solely this time they added offensive errors. Actually the 49ers protection performed a component in that.

DC Rob Leonard
Play after play you see the Raiders defenders trying defeated and discouraged. Mainly throwing their fingers up as opposing offenses constantly know precisely find out how to assault them. Simply as in earlier weeks, the Raiders protection surrendered scores on each drive within the first half. This time it was on three lengthy landing drives. And it wasn’t till the third quarter, after they have been already down 28-10 that the Raiders made their first cease.
The 49ers have been doing all this with out each to their high two receivers. As an alternative, Jordan Watkins put up career-highs in catches (4) and yards (86), and had the primary TD of his profession. Rookie RB Kaelon Black averaged 6.4 yards per carry and Christian McCaffrey had two touchdowns – one on the bottom and one by means of the air.
LB Quay Walker
He was flagged for offsides on the primary play of the sport. And it obtained worse from there. On the finish of that drive, the 49ers had three straight runs go proper by means of his place for the ultimate 16 yards and the landing.
The second TD drive noticed him so centered on Christian McCaffrey he didn’t discover Brock Purdy run proper previous him for 18 yards on third and 18. The third TD drive, he gave up a 17-yard catch after which went on a blitz, leaving CMC open for a 12-yard landing catch.
And simply as he had begun the sport with a mistake, he ended it too, getting blocked on an 18-yard run that put the 49ers in vary of their closing discipline aim to place it at a 21-point recreation within the fourth.
QB Kirk Cousins
Whereas he did lead the Raiders to 2 landing drives, his errors ended a number of different possessions. Some in disastrous trend. With the 49ers driving for a TD to open the sport, the Raiders wanted a solution. They went three-and-out with Cousins throwing too excessive and broad for Brock Bowers to get it on third down.
Popping out of the half, Cousins was taking a look at a 21-10 deficit. Not insurmountable, particularly with the Raiders’ getting the ball to begin the third quarter. One other landing drive and the Raiders are again in it. They obtained a landing on the primary play. And by “they”, I imply the 49ers. Cousins took the snap, faked a handoff to Mike Washington, bumped him with the tip of the ball, inflicting it to fall to the turf. Cousins picked it up and threw a horrible cross proper to 49ers LB Jaden Dugger who picked it off and returned it for the landing.
Down 35 to start the fourth quarter, Cousins led the Raiders on a protracted drive to the San Francisco three-yard line. However on third down, he threw for Tre Tucker on the fitting facet solely to underthrow it and had it intercepted ultimately zone by Renardo Inexperienced. That was the dagger.
TE Michael Mayer
Simply previous to that interception ultimately zone that put the nail within the proverbial coffin, it appeared like Mayer had a landing. However he pushed off making an attempt to get open and was flagged for offensive cross interference, backing it as much as the 13-yard-line.
That was the second would-be Mayer landing that led to a turnover. The earlier drive, Cousins discovered Mayer over the center with the massive tight finish making the catch and rumbling 24 yards the place Upton Stout punched the ball out simply previous to him crossing the aim line and Fred Warner recovered it ultimately zone for a touchback.
He was additionally tackled for a loss on the Raiders closing drive of the second quarter as a result of he didn’t promote the block on the display screen and Nick Bosa caught with him to make the deal with behind the road. The Raiders in the end needed to accept a protracted discipline aim, squandering the good discipline place off the 54-yard Dylan Laube kick return.
DT Adam Butler, NT Folorunso Fatukasi
The ultimate two runs of the primary drive went by means of Butler for 4 yards and Fatukasi for the TD from one yard out. The second drive, Butler was pancaked on an eight-yard run with Fatukasi giving up the primary down on the following play. Then Butler watched and jogged as Brock Purdy escaped for an 11-yard first down scramble to place the 49ers in first and aim on the eight. The 2 of them mixed for 3 tackles (one solo).
CB Eric Stokes
He gave up an 11-yard catch to steer out the 49ers first drive. His cross interference penalty ultimately zone gave the 49ers first and aim on the one on the finish of their second drive. And he gave up the longest catch of their third drive for twenty-four yards.
G Trey Zuhn
Twice he was overwhelmed badly on the block with practically disastrous outcomes. As soon as late within the second quarter to surrender a run stuff and deal with for a lack of 5 that stalled the drive, inflicting them to accept a protracted discipline aim on the half. The opposite so badly blew up a display screen try that’s practically prompted an interception behind the road.
