The San Francisco 49ers desperately needed a bounce-back performance, and that’s precisely what they got on Sunday afternoon.

NBC Sports’ Rod Brooks joined The Drive Guys this week to explain why the 49ers’ 30-13 win over the New England Patriots was a “must win,” share his thoughts on why Brandon Aiyuk has yet to find a rhythm on offense, and much more.

The San Francisco 49ers will start their practice week missing two key players, with both George Kittle and Fred Warner kept off the field for now.

San Francisco 49ers coach announced that both 49ers’ captains will not practice Wednesday. Both men are dealing with lingering injuries from Week 4’s win over the New England Patriots. Additionally, both Kittle and Warner are seen as day-to-day at this time.
