Forty-Niners' Pass Rush Shows Signs of Life

The San Francisco Forty-Niners defense has shown significant improvement in the last three weeks, ranking seventh in EPA per play, after struggling throughout the season. This turnaround coincides with a three-game winning streak and can be attributed to strong performances from the secondary, including Deommodore Lenoir, Renardo Green, Malik Mustapha, and JiAyirh Brown. New additions like Clelin Ferrell and Keion White have also contributed to the pass rush, with Ferrell recording four sacks in four games and White achieving his second-highest career pressure rate in Week Thirteen. The team anticipates the return of Yetur Gross-Matos and Sam Okuayinonu after the bye week, further strengthening their defensive line. With this growing depth and versatility, the Forty-Niners have reasons to be optimistic about their pass rush heading into the postseason.
