49ers Better than Expected
Not many people thought the San Francisco 49ers would be any good this season but San Francisco looked really good on Monday in their win over Minnesota. Head coach Jim Tomsula said that even the short week shouldn’t bother his team. "We looked at that and planned accordingly," Tomsula said,. "That's just the facts of it. That's where we go. ... Give us the parameters, the facts and let's put a plan together to attack it. That's as deep as it gets with me."
Steelers Expect to Bounce Back
The Pittsburgh Steelers knew their season opener in New England would be difficult and they didn’t play well enough to win. They have had extra time off to get ready for this game since their season opener was on a Thursday. Head coach Mike Tomlin said his team will learn from the mistakes in the opener and be better this week. “I think that’s going to be evident,” said Tomlin. “I think you learn a lot about yourself after having fielded a team inside a stadium. We will get an opportunity to see our responses to the things that transpired Thursday night as we step into this one. We are going to know a lot more in that regard as we make the necessary adjustments after having played 60 minutes of football.”
Game Notes
The Steelers are still without the suspended Le’Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant but they are fine at running back as DeAngelo Williams had 127 yards in the opener. “He’s been very consistent for us,” said Tomlin. “Although sparingly in some instances in the preseason, I thought that his play Thursday night reflected his play throughout the preseason and training camp.”
