Nick Bosa: "My body's fully adapted to football now" after 49ers' TNF win over Giants
By Rohan Chakravarthi

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the New York Giants in a Thursday Night Football matchup during Week 3, notching a 30-12 victory in their home opener to improve to 3-0.
San Francisco was dominant in all three areas of the field, consistently leading by two scores due to another strong offensive performance, matched by a defense that held the Giants to just 12 points overall.
Despite the short week, the 49ers earned major contributions from defensive end Nick Bosa, who recorded a sack and six pressures in only 39 snaps due to the Giants' lack of offensive plays.
Bosa's health has been an underrated factor through three weeks, as the defensive end was acclimated heavily in Week 2, playing 63 defensive snaps, which was a significant uptick from Week
Brock Purdy on pace to be 49ers' first 4,000-yard passer since Jeff Garcia
Since the turn of the century, there have been 179 single-season quarterback performances of at least 4,000 yards. The 49ers, as fans well know, have but one—Jeff Garcia's impressive but futile 4,278 yard effort in a 2000 season that saw SF go just 6-10. Since then, that franchise high-water mark has gone untouched. There have been a few other contenders to rally around in that span—Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, and Jimmy Garoppolo, but each have fallen short of that historic mark.
Brock Purdy, though, will at least threaten to meet that lofty expectation. With his latest 310-yard, two-touchdown performance, Purdy finds himself on pace for a 4,171-yard season in 2023. His key trait has been his efficiency; so far this year, he's completed 67.0% of his passes, and

Fred Warner: 49ers offense as fun to watch as any in the league
Fred Warner is part of an elite defense, a unit that could once again end up being the best in the NFL. However, when the San Francisco 49ers offense is on the field during games, the star linebacker can't help but feel like a fan in the stands.
"People probably think that we are busy talking about scheme and looking at iPads, but in reality, I'm sitting there, I'm glued, watching the field when the offense is out there," Warner admitted to Mark Willard and Dan Dibley on 95.7 The Game. "They're as fun to watch as any offense, I think, in the league. You talk about the star power, the skill, the talent at each skill position."
That star power includes playmakers like running back Christian McCaffrey, tight end George Kittle, and wide receivers Deebo Samuel and
