Opposing offenses have rushed for the 10th-least yards in the league (just 105 per game) vs. the Denver Broncos defense since the start of last season.
The San Francisco 49ers have faced a stacked the box on 18.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 8th-most in football. Positioning an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
The San Francisco 49ers have gone no-huddle on a lowly 3.4% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (7th-least in the NFL). This slows the pace, leading to less volume and stat accumulation.
