Nick Bosa is coming off another standout performance in Week 8, one in which he won his second NFC Defensive Player of the Week award of his young career. The rookie posted four tackles, 3.0 sacks, and one interception, joining Minnesota Vikings DT Kevin Williams (12/28/03) and Carolina Panthers DE Julius Peppers (10/13/02) as the only other rookies to post that stat line since 1982. Bosa has registered 20 tackles, 7.0 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery on the year. His 7.0 sacks is tied for seventh most among all NFL players (Jacksonville Jaguars LB Josh Allen, Los Angeles Chargers DL Joey Bosa and Green Bay Packers DL Preston Smith). Bosa and the rest of the 49ers defensive line will be tasked with slowing down Kyler Murray. The athletic rookie signal caller will be a handful for the 49ers defense. The Cardinals quarterback has been the spark plug for Arizona this season. Murray has completed 186 passes for 1,988 yards, added 279 yards on the ground and nine total touchdowns.
