From the episode

the lines, a, the defense is getting better. Like maybe they're not going to be quite the bad defense that we saw at the beginning of the year. And they've always had a good run defense. Like ever since they've had Dan Campbell, they're, they're a pass funnel. They welcome the past. They stopped the run. And this was never a great matchup for Jordan Mason.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Detroit's pass-funnel defense makes this a poor matchup for Mason's run game.

Mason faces a tough matchup against Detroit's improving defense, which has always been a pass funnel under Dan Campbell—they welcome the pass and stop the run. This was never a great matchup for Mason, and the source recommends giving him another week to see if the 49ers' run game focus materializes.
