The 49ers (1-0) travel to Paul Brown Stadium for a 1:00 ET kickoff against the Cincinnati Bengals (0-1).
Garoppolo starts after the opener. Zac Taylor is the Bengals' first-year head coach. Andy Dalton is the QB1. A.J. Green remains out (ankle).
Zac Taylor's first home game as a head coach Sunday afternoon at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals are 0-1 after losing to the Seahawks in Week 1. Andy Dalton, in what looks more and more like his final Cincinnati season, has A.J. Green on the injury report.
The 49ers' offensive line will block for Garoppolo against a Bengals defensive front that, on paper, has the kind of athleticism that should bother the run game. The 49ers' defense will line up against a Dalton offense that produced 20 points in Week 1 without its WR1.
Favored by 3 on the road against a winless first-year-coach team. The kind of Sunday that, paired with the opener, can start a real season.
Week 2 begins the early-season sort. The Rams, Bears, Saints, Cowboys, and Eagles all sit at 1-0 or 0-1 with their conferences still figuring themselves out. Around the AFC the Patriots and Chiefs are 1-0. The Bengals, with Zac Taylor in his first year, are part of a rebuild parade alongside Arizona, Miami, and others. The Sunday road game is the kind of week the 49ers need to handle to keep the year-three trajectory moving.
Through one game the 49ers are 1-0 with a +14 point differential. The Bengals are 0-1 with a -1. Andy Dalton averaged 285 passing yards in Week 1. A.J. Green out (ankle). Garoppolo produced 166 yards in Week 1. Nick Bosa with one sack in his NFL debut. Vegas opens the 49ers as 3-point road favorites; total 47.

A 41-17 win at Paul Brown Stadium. The 49ers improve to 2-0 with both wins coming on the road.
How it unfolded
Garoppolo led a touchdown drive ending in a 38-yard catch-and-run for Deebo Samuel's first NFL touchdown. The Bengals answered with a field goal. Garoppolo threw a touchdown to George Kittle to make it 14-3. The second quarter was a Marquise Goodwin touchdown reception and a Robbie Gould field goal to make it 24-3 at halftime. The third quarter was a Breida touchdown run and a Dalton touchdown to Tyler Boyd. The 49ers added another scoring drive in the fourth to seal it at 41-17.
The turning point
Garoppolo's first-quarter touchdown to Kittle. With the 49ers up 7-3 and Cincinnati having pulled within field-goal range, the answering Kittle TD pushed the lead to two scores and the defensive pressure took over from there.
By the numbers
Garoppolo 17-of-25 for 297 with three TDs. Breida 12 carries for 121. Coleman 11 for 103. Kittle 4 catches for 54 with a TD. Deebo 3 catches for 87 with the TD. Bosa one sack. Dalton 311 yards on 41 attempts with one TD.
Personnel watch
Breida in his career game on the ground producing 121 yards on 12 carries. Coleman adding 103 in a complementary day. Garoppolo in the kind of efficient afternoon that, after the Week 1 nerves, looked like the quarterback the team paid. Bosa's second straight game with a sack.
What it means
2-0 with both wins on the road and the Steelers coming up at home next week. The kind of road blowout that says the 49ers' offensive identity, after two and a half years of Shanahan retooling, has actually emerged.
