The 49ers' offense is clicking on all cylinders, but can they keep it up without Mike Evans? This week, we're joined by senior NFL writer for the Athletic, Ted Nguyen, to break down the team's performance against the Raiders. With a struggling defense on the other side, the Niners took advantage of the opportunity to showcase their skills.

Ted shares his insights on how Kyle Shanahan's offense adapted to the absence of Evans, using Christian McCaffrey in a unique way as a receiver. They also discuss the emergence of Jordan Watkins, who stepped up big time in the game, and whether he's a reliable option for the Niners moving forward. Additionally, they dive into the Raiders' defense, which is struggling to contain the run, and how the Niners took advantage of it.
