The 49ers struggle to come from behind during 3-game losing streak

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers showed they could thrive as front-runners during a 5-0 start to the season. Brock Purdy turned the ball over three times in the final 16 minutes and San Francisco’s defense struggled to slow down Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, leading to a 31-17 loss Sunday that was the third straight for the Niners following their dominant start to the season. We can’t just be a team that can only win when we’re up.” San Francisco didn’t face those scenarios in the first five games. We haven’t been able to overcome some little mistakes, whether it’s a turnover, whether it’s a penalty, whether it’s a drop, whether it’s a missed tackle.” San Francisco fell to 0-37 under Shanahan in the regular season and playoffs in games the Niners trailed by at least eight points in the fourth quarter. The Niners are averaging 3.0 yards per carry and 51 yards rushing per game from their non-quarterbacks the past two games after averaging 4.85 yards per carry and 144 yards rushing per game the first six weeks.
