Bosa finished Sunday’s game with three sacks, four total tackles, three tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, a pass breakup and his first-career interception. The 49ers defeated the Panthers 51-13. San Francisco is now 7-0 on the season.
In his first seven career games in the NFL, Bosa has collected 20 tackles, seven sacks, forced a fumble, recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass. Not a bad start to an NFL career.
On Thursday Bosa will be on the opposite side of No. 1 overall draft pick Kyler Murray as the 49ers play the Arizona Cardinals.
