Muffed punt by MN puts to rest any comeback hopes they might have had. 24-10 9ers and have the ball inside the MN 10. Start 4th qtr.

And yes, a defensive line can take over a game and when it does, you're going to win that game. Every time. Only question is, by how much.

Other than a few first half plays, the Niners OL dominated as much as their DL did.

Shows the value of winning in the trenches. The Niners really don't have any special talent on offense (save maybe the TE KIttles) but they are really well coached and play well as a team. Honestly I don't think the back 7 of the Niners defense is overly special either, but their DL is and they can more than make up for it.

True that. The DL can cover a multitude of foibles on both sides of the ball - keep the opponent score low, give your offense extra possessions, protect a suspect secondary.

But also, set a tone. Fire everyone up including the home crowd. This is Jimmy's whole philosophy, everything starts with the DL.

Yeah well it didn't hurt that he had a premier HoF QB, premier HoF RB and a premier HoF WR on top of a dominant OL that took over games. Those first 3 dont exist on this Niner team.

One hand washes the other, and if the other is awesome too you get what Jimmy built!

14-6 Titmans at half. You're gonna need 21 more points, Tennessee.

Baltimore tried to get cute with that 4th and 1 qb sneak... Tried to run it off tackle. Dumb.

66 yards... Henry on the tackle trap play. They caught him from behind at the 6.
