The 49ers rolled over the Steelers in the season opener at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Sunday, as San Francisco made a definitive statement that it will be a player once again in the NFC this season.
The 49ers jumped out to a 20–0 lead and never looked back, capturing the victory 30–7 in dominant fashion. The Steelers did not convert a single first down on the first five possessions of the contest. Star San Francisco offensive tackle Trent Williams couldn’t help but throw shade at Pittsburgh when discussing how tired he got during the game.
“At one point, you just kind of wanted [the Steelers] to get a first down,” Williams told the San Francisco Chronicle. “There were all those three-and-outs and we kind of needed a break.”
