The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Arizona Cardinals 35-16 to improve to 4-0 on the season, backed by a strong offensive effort from quarterback Brock Purdy, who threw just one incompletion, and running back Christian McCaffrey, who had four touchdowns on the day.
In the effort, the 49ers were able to break yet another franchise record, as the team scored at least 30 points for the fourth consecutive game, marking the first time in franchise history that they've reached the mark in each of their first four games.
In their history, San Francisco has fielded some elite offensive attacks, highlighted by quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young, but the Brock Purdy-led 49ers are the first to accomplish the impressive feat.
The franchise record only
Jauan Jennings: 49ers offense is "shaking and baking"
Usually, the San Francisco 49ers defense gets all the notoriety. However, with the Niners scoring 30 points per game, the offense is showing that it can be just as formidable.
Jauan Jennings has four receptions for 82 yards, which ranks fourth on the team behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle. Jennings' 20.5 yards per reception lead the 49ers, and his 5.0 yards after the catch rank second among the team's wide receivers (Samuel, 7.9).
Jennings was recently asked to share how much fun the offense has been having this season while possibly stealing some of the spotlight from the team's tough defense.
"Now we out here shaking and baking, man," Jennings said via NBC Sports Bay Area. "That's what we do. We get in the end zone. I feel like
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
49ers offense evolving with a new twist from the Dolphins playbook

The San Francisco 49ers offense has cruised through three weeks, scoring 30 points in each of their first three contests, despite still having plenty of room for improvement.
As a result, the 49ers have the NFL's third-best scoring offense through three weeks, trailing just the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins, the latter having taken the league by storm with a 70-point performance last weekend.
The Dolphins have been one of the most explosive offenses since hiring head coach Mike McDaniel, a disciple of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, last offseason.
Year by year, however, there's a period of evolution in the NFL, and explosive offenses remain explosive with a new touch added to
