David Johnson will rush for at least 100-yards

The 49ers have allowed a 100-yard rusher in seven consecutive games.  Not coincidentally, the 49ers have lost all seven of those games.

The last time the Cardinals and 49ers met, Cardinals running back David Johnson ran for 157-yards. Look for another 100+ yard game from Johnson on Sunday afternoon.

The 49ers have not been able to stop anyone on the ground.  They really haven’t stopped anyone on the ground or air period, but the 100-yard rushers have been a big reason why the 49ers have left themselves little chance for victory in their last seven games.

Johnson was held to just 24-yards two weeks ago against the Panthers.  He will be looking to get back on track on Sunday.  There is no better team to get healthy rushing statistics against than the 49ers.

Johnson will also likely get a number of touches in the air as well.  This should be a great stat-builder type of game for Johnson.  At the end of the day, the 49ers will have given up their eighth-consecutive 100-yard rusher.
