SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Where’s the most scenic spot to view the NFL’s best run defense? Kyle Shanahan enjoys it from an up-close view on the sideline. Even better, however, is what he sees on the film afterward.
“You can feel it on the field. You get the more appreciation when you watch the tape,” Shanahan said.
Case in point: Immediately after the 49ers got stopped on fourth-and-1 on their first offensive series Sunday, Nick Bosa tackled Brian Robinson for a 1-yard loss at Washington’s 14-yard line, a play that looked even more dominant on film as it recouped momentum toward a 37-20 win.
