SANTA CLARA, Calif. _ Wearing the all-white throwback jerseys from their last Super Bowl-winning team 25 years ago, the 49ers indeed looked the part and ran their undefeated start to 7-0 Sunday.
The 51-13 rout of the Carolina Panthers was their most convincing win yet.
Defensively, Nick Bosa led the way with three sacks and his first career interception, sparking the Levi's Stadium crowd to serenade him with chants of "Bo-sa! Bo-Sa!"
Offensively, Tevin Coleman scored a career-high four touchdowns, coach Kyle Shanahan dialed up ridiculously crafty play calls and Jimmy Garoppolo sparked the onslaught with a touchdown pass to the 49ers' newest weapon, Emmanuel Sanders.
The 49ers next play Thursday night with a Halloween visit to the Arizona Cardinals (3-4-1), and a victory there could set the 49ers up to match their 1990 team's 9-0 start when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night, Nov. 11.
Here are the highs and lows:
