During the final half of the season, this protection has made its mark the place it issues most, within the second half of video games.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"twitter-embed\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=twitter-1614417855302504450&amp;autosize=1\" autoresize=\"true\" id=\"twitter-1614417855302504450\" data-recommended=\"false\" width=\"500\" height=\"159\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">San Francisco\u2019s protection did it once more to Seattle in Saturday\u2019s wildcard matchup, holding the Seahawks to 6 factors within the second half, and people got here late within the fourth quarter when the sport was already determined. The Seahawks led 17-16 at halftime and finally misplaced 41-23. There\u2019s one thing about this Niners protection that clicks at intermission, and so they come out fired up for the final two quarters. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sc-1bwb26k-1 fvPqJk\" id=\"h479812\">Something modified in Week 7 for the 49ers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Since the Week 7 blowout loss to Kansas City, San Francisco\u2019s protection has been relentless. Following the Chiefs loss, the 49ers pitched 4 consecutive second half shutouts. The Niners beat the Rams, Cardinals, Chargers, and Saints in these video games. The Saints\u2019 win was an entire shutout in a 13-0 remaining. <\/p>\n<div class=\"bxm4mm-15 BiRlJ\">\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-0 sc-1atgi65-1 bdNdA-D js_commerce-inset-permalink\" data-inset-url=\"https:\/\/howl.me\/ciTugGI5Ez0\" data-inset-category=\"CommerceInsetMobile\">\n<p>G\/O Media could get a fee<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-3 hMBKyp creative-type-A\"><a category=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-1atgi65-4 dxZfFS js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;CommerceInsetMobile&quot;,&quot;Click&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/deadspin.com\/san-francisco-49ers-defense-dominating-nfl-opponents-1849990926&quot;],[&quot;ns:unique&quot;,&quot;CommerceInsetMobile&quot;,&quot;Click&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/deadspin.com\/san-francisco-49ers-defense-dominating-nfl-opponents-1849990926&quot;],[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;CommerceInsetMobile&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/howl.me\/ciTugGI5Ez0&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/howl.me\/ciTugGI5Ez0\" data-linktype=\"[t|mod-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-6 gLSKws\">\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-10 hherpH js_lazy-image\">\n<div><picture class=\"lazy-picture\"><source media=\"all\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/gawker-media\/image\/upload\/c_fill,fl_progressive,g_center,h_180,q_80,w_320\/b93d83ebe455c4c4f0fc2640a6b1ec76.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samsung Reserve\" src=\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/gawker-media\/image\/upload\/c_fill,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_center,h_264,pg_1,q_80,w_470\/b93d83ebe455c4c4f0fc2640a6b1ec76.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-15 jrXWJC\">\n<p>Up to $100 credit<\/p>\n<p>Samsung Reserve<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-12 dRyRwx\">\n<p class=\"sc-1atgi65-13 iFlqWg\"><strong>Reserve the next gen Samsung device<\/strong><br \/><span>All you need to do is sign up with your email and boom: credit for your preorder on a new Samsung device.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">They followed that up by holding Miami, Tampa Bay, and Seattle to seven second half points in consecutive games. It wasn\u2019t until the final two games of the year that the Commanders and Raiders were able to score double-digit second half points against the Niners, but still wound up losing. Even in the few games the defense has seemed out of sorts, they find a way to lock in and come up with a big play. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">In Saturday\u2019s wildcard game against the Seahawks, the turning point was a big play when Geno Smith was stripped of the ball, and Nick Bosa pounced on it. That was a huge third down play late in the third quarter, with the 49ers up just six points with the Seahawks in the red zone. That play changed the course of this game, and San Francisco never looked back. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"twitter-embed\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=twitter-1614421019669790720&amp;autosize=1\" autoresize=\"true\" id=\"twitter-1614421019669790720\" data-recommended=\"false\" width=\"500\" height=\"159\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">If it\u2019s close at halftime against San Francisco, the odds of their opponent winning are slim, thanks to the defense. That should be a warning to all NFC teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles. You\u2019ve got to get up on this team early and force them to fight from far behind. But obviously, that\u2019s a task much easier said than done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Seattle\u2019s DK Metcalf bobbles a catch in opposition to Charvarius Ward throughout the third quarter within the NFC Wild Card playoff sport at Levi\u2019s Stadium on January 14, 2023 in Santa Clara, California.
