After a shaky start with two touchdown drives by Colts quarterback Philip Rivers, 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh motivated his young defense to regain composure during their 48-27 victory on “Monday Night Football.” Linebacker Dee Winters noted Saleh’s advice to “stop panicking” helped the team settle in, leading to improved performance. Coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized adjustments, including more man coverage, which stifled Rivers’ success in the second half. The defense also effectively contained running back Jonathan Taylor, limiting him to just 46 yards.
