San Francisco 49ers: Complete grades for Week 2 victory over Cincinnati Bengals
By Justin Fried
The San Francisco 49ers improved to 2-0 on the heels of a dominant performance against the Cincinnati Bengals. Here is how the team’s Week 2 showing grades out.
The San Francisco 49ers have had exactly the start to the 2019 season that many hoped that they would. In fact, after two weeks, the 49ers sit with a 2-0 record and have likely exceeded most people’s expectations.
After a dominant defensive performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, the 49ers traveled to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in Week 2. And 49ers fans were witness to yet another dominant display — this time from both their offense and defense.
San Francisco absolutely demolished Cincinnati with a significantly better showing from their offense following last week’s underwhelming debut. Sure, the Bengals had arguably the worst defense in NFL history last season, but it’s great to see nonetheless.
Even against two subpar teams, it’s still impressive to go out on the road and win your first two games of the season, especially in the way that they did.
Let’s take a look at some final grades for the 49ers’ Week 2 thrashing of the Bengals.
