STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Stafford's eight hits and avoidance of the middle reflect the 49ers' defensive dominance.

Stafford faced the 49ers' dominant defense and was held to well below his typical production. He usually has a few touchdowns and around 275 yards, but the 49ers' scheme limited him significantly. He was hit eight times by the 49ers defense, with Osa Odighizuwa accounting for half of those hits. Stafford notably avoided throwing over the middle, a sign of respect for Fred Warner's dominance.
