It would make sense for the Niners to start slow, even with the emotions of playing
at Levi’s Stadium for the first time this regular season. The players can say they’re fine, but I wonder how it’ll play out.
The 49ers were impressive in every facet in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. It’s popular to say that this is a trap game. It would make more sense to acknowledge a potential emotional letdown after everything the team put into last week’s victory.
But it’s Week 2. The 49ers are fresh. They won’t overlook any team. It might be a lower-scoring affair early.
