49ers answer with another FG

Obviously, the 49ers would love to score touchdowns, but this game seems to be going mostly as they planned.

The Lions defense held San Francisco to a 48-yard field goal, but the 49ers keep running the clock. That drive went 10 plays in just less than four minutes, not an incredibly long drive, but it’s moved us to the fourth quarter.

Time is running out for the Lions. It’s time to abandon the run game.
