Factoid
There are three weeks left in the regular season, and the 49ers still haven’t allowed any rushing touchdowns all year. Every touchdown scored against this defense has come via the pass.
This hasn’t been done before. No defense, in fact, has ever come close. Since the move to the 16-game schedule in 1978, no defense has ever allowed fewer than 4 rushing touchdowns.
