If this is what's in store for the rest of the season, the league should be on notice.
The more notable expectation is one that haunts head coach Kyle Shanahan. After the team's injury-riddled start, Shanahan has a full complement of skill position studs, with Christian McCaffrey added to the mix to boot. In the first few games after the McCaffrey trade, however, Shanahan's offense looked like nothing to be scared of.
On Monday night, finally, Shanahan's inventive play-calling and the Niners' execution met their terrifying potential. For the first time this season, with a fully healthy offense, the team looked like the apex of what a Kyle Shanahan offense could do on a football field. The Niners were dynamic, and the play-calling varied in a way that broke the spirit of the Arizona defense — more on that later.
You don’t need to look any further than the drive that led to San Francisco’s opening touchdown. Every star got a touch and made productive gains for the drive. A pass towas followed by a run from Christian McCaffrey, which was followed by a pass to Deebo Samuel, which was followed by another McCaffrey run, which was followed by another pass to Samuel and then ended with a touchdown by Brandon Aiyuk.
That drive set the tone for the rest of the evening. When the final whistle was blown, McCaffrey had 106 yards from scrimmage, Samuel had scored a 39-yard reverse end-around touchdown, Kittle had two touchdowns with 84 receiving yards, Aiyuk had a pair of touchdowns of his own, and even Garoppolo had a Mahomes-esque touchdown pass.
