The 49ers' troubles defending play-action passes were a problem heading into Week 7 and during the team's 24-21 defeat to the Texans.
The chart, based on information from Hank Gargiulo of ESPN Stats & Information, breaks it all down.
The 49ers did sack Schaub once on a play-action situation not accounted for in the chart. Week 8 opponent Peyton Manning isn't bad in those situations, either. The chart shows his play-action production heading into a 42-6 victory over the Rams in Week 7.
