“49ers’ Sack Attack Unleashed: Bosa sadly charge with a ‘Good Problem’!”
Nick Bosa knew when his former Ohio State teammate Chase Young was traded to the 49ers, the reunited pass-rushing duo would be racing to opposing quarterbacks for San Francisco.
But the benefits of Young’s arrival have reverberated throughout the 49ers’ entire defensive line, leading to an uptick in sacks where everyone gets a piece of the pie. That was evident in San Francisco’s 31-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night at Lumen field, where the 49ers sacked quarterback Geno Smith a season-high six times.
Sometimes those sacks are solo and sometimes they’re combined, but Bosa, who had two on the night, said it’s hard to keep track of who has recorded what.
“It’s funny — after the game, nobody has any idea what they’re stats are,” Bosa told reporters after the win. “So it’s a good problem to have.”
Bosa explained that as long as the stats stay in the D-line room, there’s no arguing about who was credited with what. The chemistry within the unit is evident, especially after a performance like the Faithful witnessed on Thanksgiving Day.
With 15 sacks across the 49ers’ current three-game winning streak, the addition of Young at the NFL trade deadline last month appears to have provided a significant boost to a pass rush that had been struggling to produce across the team’s previous three-game skid.
