The San Francisco 49ers success this season hasn’t been flashy, and that’s not a coincidence. The 49ers style of play is old school on both sides of the ball. In an era where quarterbacks can throw up to 60 times a game, the 49ers are the first team in a decade to have over 300 rushing attempts in the first half of a season.
