Deebo Samuel and the 49ers are firing on all cylinders
The 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was on the Rich Eisen Show yesterday. On the show, he talked about how the 49ers play as a team and everyone is on top of their game. Samuel said, “You just see the defense flying around, special teams flying around, just flying around on all cylinders, in all phases. Once we play ball all together, we’re unstoppable.”
Deebo then started to praise his teammates and acknowledge their efforts. “Jimmy had two picks his first game back from his quad. You see, Bosa and Fred and all those guys swarming to the ball. Arik Armstead and all those guys. We ran the ball 45 times against the Rams. You can just tell what kind of team we have. It don’t matter if we’re throwing it or running it, all 11 guys out there are just flying around.”

It is safe to assume that the 49ers feel confident in their ability at this point of the season. Based on their performances over the last two games, they have every right to feel that way.
The unstoppable 49ers

The 49ers started the season with two straight victories. They did great in the games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Rams. They dominated those games, so to speak. The strange ending to the Detroit Lions game made it feel like a 49ers loss. The 17-11 win against the Philadelphia Eagles was a struggle for the defense.
Things have looked up for San Francisco. Their offense is phenomenally coordinating and has managed to get 14 of their last 26 third downs. In the last two games, the defense has made four turnovers. Their tackles are straight up unstoppable. Maybe Deebo Samuel is correct when he describes his team as unstoppable. They have the stats to prove it.

The meeting between the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers would be interesting, to say the least. The Vikings are also coming off a win against the Green Bay Packers.
