"I challenged the team, saying I'd like to get 40 runs called. But that's not just an offensive thing. In order to do that, you got to play defense like we did tonight. You got to play special teams like we did tonight. On Chase Lucas: You know he wanted that pick six but hell of a job, just being ready, losing Stout late in the week, being ready for his op."
"On Tatum Bethune: Tatum's a real good linebacker. We were excited to get him out of college, we were excited having him all last year when he made the team and we've been excited about this offseason. So you never know when your op's going to come. And unfortunately, his came with a bad injury to fred, but he's been ready for this moment for a while and no one doubted him at all."
The 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 20-10 at Levi's Stadium to remain atop the NFC West. San Francisco's defense performed without captains Fred Warner (ankle) and Nick Bosa (knee), limiting Bijan Robinson to 40 rushing yards and holding Atlanta's offense in check. Christian McCaffrey led the team with 129 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and seven catches for 72 yards. Tatum Bethune filled Warner's role and led the team with 10 tackles. Mac Jones completed 17 of 26 passes for 152 yards and threw a tipped interception while the team emphasized defense and special teams.
