Section 415

Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Ricky Pearsall have all missed time due to injuries, but the 49ers’ offense has still delivered clutch performances to key the team’s 4-1 start.

The Standard’s David Lombardi joins Section 415 to analyze the 49ers’ 4-1 start and where they go from here.  This episode was hosted by Kerry Crowley, produced by Dakota London, and edited by Matt Collette.
