Brandon Aiyuk A Risky Start In Divisional Round
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has a risky matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Even against lesser defenses, the Cardinals and Seahawks, in the past two weeks, Aiyuk only saw five looks in each game and gained 59 yards and 73 yards, respectively. The chances are he will produce less than that against the Cowboys, who will be the toughest defense Niners QB Brock Purdy has yet faced. The Cowboys only allow the eighth-fewest passing yards per game and the seventh-fewest per pass, while applying pressure to the tune of 54 sacks, the third-most. As a deeper target than Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle, Aiyuk will suffer the most if Purdy has to rush his throws.
