NFL Week 15, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
5. Sanders throws another touchdown pass
Clearly, the decision by the San Francisco 49ers to acquire Emmanuel Sanders before the trade deadline has paid off in one of the biggest ways possible when looking at the wideout’s impact on offense.
During last weekend’s win on the road over the New Orleans Saints, Kyle Shanahan took advantage of being able to use Sanders for a little trickery by having him throw a touchdown pass to give the offense some much needed momentum.
Predicting Sanders will throw a touchdown pass for a second week in a row may seem like a long shot since the Atlanta Falcons will most likely be on alert after Week 14, but also San Francisco seems like the perfect candidate to pull this off.
As great as the 49ers looked early on in the 2019 season, it was clear they could use additional help at the wide receiver position, and the addition of Sanders could play a major role in helping them earn a trip to the Super Bowl when the time comes.
A game at home against the Falcons should result in the 49ers earning another win to remain on top of the division for at least another week, especially if Sanders comes through with another solid performance.
