49ers vs. Falcons: 4 bold predictions that pan out in Week 15
By Peter Panacy
No. 2: Nick Bosa picks up 2 more sacks on the year
EDGE Nick Bosa has been on a torrid pace as of late, already reaching 14 sacks on the season and leading the entire NFL with 18 tackles for a loss.
A week ago during the Niners’ overtime win versus the Cincinnati Bengals, Bosa notched two sacks and could have had a third if it weren’t wiped out by a San Francisco defensive penalty.
Nevertheless, Bosa has yet another chance to add on to his already impressive sack totals in 2021.

It wouldn’t be shocking to see San Francisco line Bosa up on the strong side of the formation, subjecting him to more chip blocks by Falcons slot receivers and tight ends but also putting him up against Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary, who has surrendered four sacks, 26 pressures and has a lowly 54.5 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.
Talk about a mismatch advantage for Bosa, who’ll wind up finishing Week 15 with two additional sacks to bring his yearly total to 16.
