7. DeForest Buckner – 79.9 overall grade
Bosa gave credit to the d-line for his three-sack performance on Sunday, saying two of them could have easily belonged to Buckner. The fourth-year defensive lineman recorded a quarterback hit and three hurries on the day.
“We’ve kind of gone back and forth giving each other sacks this year, so I’m lucky to have two interior guys who close the pocket so well,” Bosa said.
8. Tevin Coleman – 79.0 overall grade
Coleman rushed for 105 yards and a career-high tying three touchdowns on 11 carries (9.5 average) and added two receptions for 13 yards and a receiving touchdown. He became the first player in franchise history to register three rushing touchdowns and a receiving score in the same game. San Francisco’s offensive line is credited in Coleman’s running lanes where 84 of his 105 rushing yards came before contact.
“Tevin is very similar to how he was when I was in Atlanta,” Kyle Shanahan said postgame. “Just his skillset and everything doesn’t change. I had him his first two years and I think he is more of a veteran now. He’s been through a lot more. I think everyone matures in this league. Tevin was great right away, but I think he knows what he wants. He knows how to play in the offense. Tevin can play in any offense, so that doesn’t matter. But, he had some good looks today and when Tevin has a good look he can usually get it across the endzone. That’s what he got.”
Honorable Mentions - Daniel Brunskill and Mike Person
Brunskill stepped in for Mike McGlinchey (knee) in Week 5 and has been dependable filling in for the right tackle. He is arguably coming off of his best performance of his young career on Sunday. Brunskill earned a 79.7 overall grade, 78.4 pass-blocking grade and 73.4 run-blocking grade against Carolina and joined Kittle and Sherman on PFF's Team of the Week. Both Brunskill and Person (73.7 overall grade) did not allow a single quarterback pressure on the day.
