The 49ers have been one of the better single-high safety teams over the last couple of seasons, but there are times when even when you’re running your best scheme, you get beaten by a ridiculously great play.
This was the case for San Francisco’s defense with 11:42 left in the first quarter in their Thursday night go-round with the Packers. Emmanuel Moseley is the 49ers’ best healthy cornerback, but there was absolutely no way to defend this Aaron Rodgers throw to Davante Adams for six.

The 38-yard pitch and catch gave Adams his league-leading eighth touchdown reception, and his sixth in his last three games. Odds are, Adams isn’t done yet tonight — though on Green Bay’s next drive, they went back to the well with another deep throw to Adams, and this time, Moseley snuffed it out.
genuinely great coverage here from Emmanuel Moseley. locked on pic.twitter.com/tY1uy5kWxC
