Earlier this week, offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi talked about the change in the team, in how they executed the final drive to beat the Denver Broncos.
"I think just overall execution in the fourth quarter, getting the ball down six points and going down there and scoring a touchdown in about two minutes and then getting the ball back. Our defense – credit to our defense because we get the lead for the defense and then they get a big stop late in the game and give us the ball back with about five minutes left and it's our time to try and go out there. And regardless of how we run the ball during the game or what it is, we have to go out there and try and execute some runs, eat some clock and get first downs really at the end of the day. So, for us to run for a first down early and then get a third down conversion with Jakobi [Meyers] and Jimmy [Garoppolo], and then obviously get the third down conversion with Jimmy at the end of the game. I mean, as a coach, you're extremely pleased with your guys for battling, being mentally tough and having that stamina to execute their job in the fourth quarter. Because that's really at the end of the day what separates wins and losses in this league. Every game is going to be close. I know there were a couple of games around the league this week that were kind of lopsided forthe score, but my man on the red zone network doesn’t call it 'the witching hour' for nothing. I mean, it's going to come down to the bitter end and if you can execute your job in situational football. We put a stress and a big emphasis on that every week. And for them to go execute that, it's very fun to see as a coach."
The Silver and Black remain on the road this week as they travel to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Sept. 17, at 1:05 p.m. EDT/10:05 a.m. PDT.
