5 biggest overreactions to 49ers' Monday Night Football win vs. Jets

While there are 16 happy fanbases and 16 unhappy fanbases (some unhappier than others... sorry, Carolina) in the NFL right now, one thing that all the fanbases will surely be doing is overreacting to Week 1, both good and bad.

For those of us of a San Francisco 49ers disposition, though, there's the opportunity to have some happy overreactions, particularly after the dominant way the team handled its business in its season opener against the New York Jets on Monday Night Football, even while missing several key players.

Let's take a look at some overreactions.

49ers run defense is fixed

Praise be! Those of you who watched several average-to-good running backs make the Niners defensive line look like mincemeat last season -- despite the high contract value being paid to the starting four and most of the four behind them -- need worry no more.

The Jets could only average 3.6 yards per running play, with new addition Maliek Collins already looking like everything the 49ers have been missing since D.J. Jones left town some years ago. While Collins didn't stuff the stat sheet, he was active and around the ball all night, and the Jets interior offensive line didn't have an answer for the push he and his interior defensive linemates generated.

All in all, San Francisco looked active, energised, and most importantly, decisive, against the run, from the first snap to the last. It looked like night and day from last season.

One possible reason for that might have been the defensive line splits: They looked noticeably less aggressive than last season, and there seemed to be a lot less "thinking" and more "reacting" in general across the field.

"All gas, no brakes" might be truly back in San Francisco.

Hey, it might have been even better if NFL refs would occasionally call holding on Nick Bosa.
