SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers appeared they seem win disproportionate diversions when they hustled out to a 5-0 begin and were scarcely challenged within the moment half in any of those recreations.
Pulling it out down the extend in a tight amusement has been a distinctive issue. Some key botches have destined San Francisco in tight misfortunes the past two weeks against Cleveland and Minnesota.
The Niners (5-2) will see to discover that equation for winning indeed when everything isn’t going as arranged when they have the Cincinnati Bengals (3-3) on Sunday.
“Every year is its claim year and you learn diverse things around yourselves as a group all through the year,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “That’s one thing that we’re learning right presently as a group is that we know that able to blow individuals out but let’s figure out a way to form beyond any doubt that we center on that another play, notwithstanding of what botches have happened within the game.”
A missed late field goal proved expensive against the Browns, while two fourth-quarter interceptor from Brock Purdy were significant against the Vikings.
That comes after San Francisco didn’t have single ownership the primary five diversions when trailing within the moment half.
“The reality of the NFL kind of has hit us. … This isn’t fair you go out there and beat everybody by two scores like those to begin with five diversions went,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “You’re not continuously planning to play culminate. You’re never getting to play idealize and the group against you is reaching to play great in some cases and ordinarily that’s attending to come down to one score. And both of these have and we had each chance to win both of those diversions and we didn’t get it done.”
The Niners might ought to get it done this week without Purdy, who is within the concussion convention. On the off chance that he can’t go, Sam Darnold will get the begin.
Whereas San Francisco is managing with wounds on a brief week, the Bengals come in well-rested after having their bye final week.
Cincinnati has appeared signs of turning things around after an 0-2 begin, winning three of its past four diversions as quarterback Joe Burrow’s harmed calf has gotten more advantageous.
“I feel truly great, and I’m energized approximately the up and coming weeks,” Burrow said. “We know it’s reaching to be a challenge. We savor going on the street and playing in those sorts of situations. It’ll be a enormous challenge. We’ll discover out a part more around ourselves on Sunday.”
BURROW AT REST
Burrow said he did small more amid the off week than sit on the sofa, observe football and eat. And no question he put a few thought into the leftover portion of the season and whether the Bengals will be ableto induce back to the frame that impelled them down the extend to AFC North titles the past two a long time.
Burrow started gradually after lost all of preparing camp with a calf harm that he changed once more in Week 2. But he has looked superior the past two recreations with five TD passes in wins over Arizona and Seattle.
BOSA BLANKED
Niners star edge rusher Scratch Bosa has been held to fair 2 1/2 sacks so distant this season after driving the NFL with 18 1/2 a year back. Bosa has been doing a great work producing weight but hasn’t been able to wrap up it off. Bosa said he’s been by and large satisfied with his execution exterior of the opener against Pittsburgh and two weeks back at Cleveland.
But he says he isn’t at his regular frame after lost all of preparing camp in a contract holdout.
“I think I’m attempting to work on stuff on the run this year that I wasn’t able to do in camp,” he said. “So, those recreations that I said, the two, I think I was considering as well much since I was attempting to include something to my surge arrange which isn’t what I need to be doing amid season. I want to be bolted in on what I do best and fair doing it all through the total year. But there’s no excuse at this point for that.”
Frantically Looking for THE RUN
The Bengals have been to some degree perplexed by their failure to set up a run game with Joe Mixon behind a great offensive line that included Professional Bowl handle Orlando Brown Jr. in the offseason. Mixon had 12 carries for 38 yards within the win over Seattle. Cincinnati is final within the NFL in hurrying yards with 419 through six recreations. As it were one run was more than 20 yards.
Burrow said he accepts the Bengals have the work force to remedy everything that’s weak the offense.
“I’m truly certain with all the folks in there,” he said.
SCORE CMC
 McCaffrey has appeared a talent for the conclusion zone since joining the 49ers final October, scoring 24 TDs in 21 recreations within the standard season and playoffs. He has scored at slightest one in 16 straight games, one bashful of Lenny Moore’s NFL record.
“He’s extraordinary at it,” Shanahan said. “I think he’s done it since I listened around it developing up in Denver, to college, to anything group he’s on. He knows how to induce within the conclusion zone.”
