Former NFL player names ‘best part’ of 49ers’ dominant win over Raiders

The San Francisco 49ers continued their impressive 2026/27 season with a win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9. The 49ers are now 7-1 for the campaign, bouncing back from their defeat at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons in late October. When all was said and done, San Francisco came away with a 38-17 win on Sunday, in which Manti Te’o said they ‘dominated’. Appearing on Good Morning Football to discuss the game, the former NFL player said the ‘best part’ about the tie was the fact that Mike Evans wasn’t playing, yet they were still able to dominate the Raiders. He explained: “The best part of the team is [that] Mike Evans wasn’t even playing. That’s the best part of the team. “Mike Evans wasn’t playing. When they’re at their best Mike Evans, number five, is on the field. He wasn’t there, yet that team dominated against the Raiders. “I’m going to talk specifically about the defence right here. Raheem Morris, defensive coordinator, comes over here and shows why he is one of the best defensive coordinators in the league. Had a stint as head coach that didn’t work out. But if you watch that 49ers defence, there is an attention to the small details and nuances of what makes a great defence.” If the 49ers keep up their current form, they should be able to easily surpass their record from 2025. They managed 12 wins and five losses in the regular season last year but their current rate should see them secure at least 14 wins.
