The 49ers Faithful has to love what they saw from Samuel against their division rivals.
If Samuel can do this against the reigning Super Bowl champions and maintain that level throughout the rest of the 2022 NFL season, the 49ers are hopeful they will be in a good spot by the time the playoffs roll around.
