The San Francisco 49ers secured a win last weekend to begin the second half of the season on a high note, but it didn’t come without some added drama.

NBC Sports’ 49ers insider Rod Brooks joined The Drive Guys this week to address San Francisco’s special teams blunders, share his thoughts on how much criticism head coach Kyle Shanahan deserves, and much more.

Plus, Rod explains why the 49ers offense was pass-heavy–even with Christian McCaffrey on the field.
