San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch commended the team's offensive line as a key factor in their strong start to the 2026 season. Brock Purdy has not been sacked through four games, contributing to 1,556 total yards and 16 touchdowns. The offensive line has also facilitated a successful rushing attack with 549 yards on 115 attempts. Lynch noted that the improvement stems from team continuity, with Trent Williams leading the way. He added that the overall offensive performance, including timely plays from Purdy and the receivers, has been instrumental, cautioning against giving sole credit to the offensive line's performance. The 49ers, currently at 4-0, head into a matchup against Seattle next.
