49ers’ red zone offense is good when it should be great

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:38:41 GMT

The 49ers are the envy of 31 other NFL teams for their offensive weaponry.An efficient and accurate quarterback in Brock Purdy. The league’s most celebrated touchdown machine in Christian McCaffrey and another dual threat wild card in Deebo Samuel. A classic wideout in Brandon Aiyuk and an old-school sure-handed tight end in George Kittle.That doesn’t even include fullback Kyle Juszczyk, a seven-time Pro Bowler who can produce offensively when overlooked amidst the galaxy of stars.The 49ers are tied for sixth in red zone offense with 24 touchdowns in 40 trips to the 20-yard line or closer. That’s 60 percent. Miami, with former 49ers’ running game coordinator Mike McDaniel running the offense as head coach, is first at 73 percent, followed by the L.A. Chargers (66.7), Buffalo (65.9), Baltimore (65.2) with Indianapolis also at 60 percent.Tied for sixth isn’t bad. In fact it’s good.But if the 49ers have made anything clear in 2023, it’s that be...
