Monday Night Football yields some surprises both on and off the field! During the game, there were two, yes two, power outages that caused a 15 minute delay of game. When the lights came back on, the 49’ers smashed the Steelers in a 20-3 win at Candlestick Park that left QB Ben Roethlisberger limping back to the locker room.
The injury report is in, and it’s not looking to bad! Braylon Edwards was ruled inactive for this game, but the coach didn’t seem to cite a real reason in his press conference afterwards. Frank Gore was looking good, rushing for 66 yards against a top running -defense in the league. Joe Staley played Monday in their win, but injured his legs on one of the sacs on Ben.
We look ahead to Christmas! The division rivals will face off in Seattle on Christmas Eve. It’s important for the 49’ers to keep the pace with the Saints if they really want the #2 seed. Compared to the Seahawks 33-17 loss in week 1, Seattle has really turned around and will make a fierce competition for the 49’ers this weekend. If the 49’ers win the next 2 road games, they will clinch that #2 seed.
