PLAYER OF THE GAME

Even in a loss, 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was outstanding in his return from injury. Against the run, he totaled five tackles (three of which were deemed stops) and two assists, resulting in an impressive 2.4-yard average depth of tackle when defending the run. In coverage, Greenlaw allowed his only target to be caught for just a four-yard gain, resulting in another stop.

He only played 30 snaps, but certainly made his presence felt.
