The San Francisco 49ers demolished the Detroit Lions in Week 1 -- until they stopped trying. Niner Noise Podcast hosts Chris Wilson (@cgawilson) and Robert Morrison (@rs_morrison) are here to recap the Niners' first game of the 2021 NFL regular season: A win in the standings depite another loss by the coaching staff -- and on the injury front, as the never-ending injury bug struck again against a pair of key 49ers starters.

By turning the team's game-winning aggression down to zero and then tossing the knob into the Detroit River, Shanahan and Co. provided the Lions with an opportunity for an improbable comeback.

The 49ers' four-touchdown blowout over the first 40 minutes immediately took a sharp turn in Detroit's favor, before the contest finally reached its end with the Lions driving deep into San Francisco territory, down by a score.
