Summary

Without their fearless leader, Fred Warner, the 49ers' defense produced a masterclass performance against the red-hot Atlanta Falcons on Sunday while the offense ran all over the field.

With the return of George Kittle and many backups stepping up, the 49ers proved they might have been down, but they sure aren't out.
