Summary

The San Francisco 49ers ranked second-to-last in the NFL for defensive havoc rate in 2025, scoring only 5.3. This metric, which includes interceptions, forced fumbles, sacks, and pressures, highlighted the team's struggles, particularly missing key players like Nick Bosa and Mykell Williams due to injuries. The 49ers recorded just six interceptions and 20 sacks, both among the lowest in the league. They added defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa and edge rusher Romello Height this offseason, along with cornerbacks Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs. New defensive coordinator Raheem Morris will oversee these changes in the coming season.
