One curious stat from yesterday’s dominating win over the Green Bay Packers: The 49ers offense converted just 2 of 9 third downs – 22 percent. That’s worse than their average last season – 28 percent.
Granted, the two third downs …
Extra Point:Third down definitely continues to be a concern for the Niners. Getting Brandon Jacobs back on the field may help with some it - but ultimately the team has to make sure they are not in 3rd-and-hard-to-convert situations. Although Green Bay is a very good team, it's defense shouldn't have posed this big a difficulty for the Niners on 3rd downs.
