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. Can Mac Jones keep thriving? Will Christian McCaffrey finally find running lanes? And who will step up to lead a depleted receiver corps? 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. Sophie Bearman is the Standard’s head of audio. Theme music by Hannis Brown and series art by Jess Hutchison.
