On the 49ers podcast with Dave, Anytime you get a shutout which is the first the 49ers had been able to accomplish in Monday’s 28-0 blanking of the Los Angeles Rams in their long history on opening day. Any shutout whether it’s opening day or the last day of the season it’s surprising as shutouts are really difficult in the NFL. Even more difficult with 49ers defense and it wasn’t just that they got a shutout the Rams didn’t even have anything thrown in the end zone

The Rams had a missed field goal and they didn’t even make a field goal attempt. The Niners defense kept the Rams out of he red zone and any part of the field that would have led to a score. It was a very impressive performance and it’s always a surprise when an NFL team left alone the 49ers get the shutout it’s really tough to do. You don’t see it too often only a handful of times so for the 49ers to pull that off it’s great for them.
