From the episode

This Niners offense at full at full strength with a run game that feels rejuvenated and they've really added to it. This was always a team that could have the best offense in the league, a top three offense in the league if everyone stays healthy. That was never off the table. ... And Kittle barely played like 40% of the snaps.
