49ers get defensive, beat Bills in Buffalo

The Niners have won 2 of their last 3 games. Let me say that again. The Niners have won 2 of their last 3 games. 

The 49ers rode their defense to victory against the Buffalo Bills, 10-3.  Patrick Willis led the Niners defense with 14 tackles and a forced fumble. The defense was able to get enough pressure when they had to.

If you look at the box score, you wonder how the fuck the Niners won this game. Marshawn Lynch rushed for 134 yards, the Niners did not have any interceptions and only forced 1 fumble. The Niners defense bent at times, but it never broke. The key to this victory was the Niners red zone defense. 4 times the Bills were inside the 15 yard line. All 4 times the Bills were kept out of the end zone. They were forced to go for a field goal 3 times (Rian Lindell missed 2 short field goals) and the Bills went for it on 4th down and goal and failed once.

Shaun Hill managed the game and did not turn it over. Isaac Bruce had 5 grabs for 67 yards including the Niners only touchdown.  Jason Hill had 5 catches for 55 yards. The Niners got enough rushing yards and enough passing yards to get enough 1st downs to keep the time of possession equal.

Next up is a home game against the beatable Jets. The Niners could make it 3 of 4 with a win, but….. these are the Niners were talking about.
