San Francisco 49ers defense records five sacks in OT win

The San Francisco 49ers defense recorded five sacks and picked up two fumble recoveries in a 26-23 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

The Niners' defense played better than the score may indicate as they ended a ton of Bengals' drives with opportune sacks and turnovers. Joe Burrow kept the Bengals in it with a few clutch touchdown throws to Ja'Marr Chase, which forced overtime, but San Francisco was able to hold Cincinnati to a field foal in the extra period. The Niners have a nice matchup next week when they host the Atlanta Falcons. They should be started in that one.
