49ers Aim to Continue Second-Half Domination After Slumping Start

Associated Press  

The San Francisco 49ers are looking to follow a similar pattern to the past two seasons in the second half of the season. They hope to improve from their shaky start to the season and get back to their winning ways. The offense must do a better job finishing off drives in the red zone and performing against man coverage. The defense needs to generate more consistent pressure and do a better job of holding onto leads. The special teams needs to avoid the mistakes that have contributed to several losses. The 49ers are confident that a win over Dallas before the bye helped them get back on track and are hopeful that stars such as Christian McCaffrey and Dre Greenlaw can return from injuries down the stretch to elevate the team.
