The 49ers have 31:51 - 28:20 time of possession average vs the opponents, and had almost the same offensive yards. Considering that they had well below average offensive yards in the first few games of the seasons, the 49ers offense has done quite a decent job controlling the ball. Had the offense been more prolific in scoring TDs, this team would likely rank near the top in points.
There is no denying it, a small boost in redzone efficiency will go a long way. Couple it with an increase in 3rd down conversions and the 49ers could really move up in the offensive ranks.
