Overview

• Warner earned the NFC’s weekly defensive honor for Week 2 following San Francisco’s 26-21 victory in New Orleans, his fourth career selection.
• He posted 11 tackles with a pass breakup, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, becoming the first player since 2020—also himself—to record that stat line in a game.
• Late in the third quarter he stripped Alvin Kamara at the 49ers’ 29, secured the recovery on a successful challenge, and the takeaway led to Mac Jones’ touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings for the winning points.
• The forced fumble was Warner’s 16th in the NFL, tying Hall of Famer Patrick Willis for the most in 49ers history.
• San Francisco is 2-0 with the defense ranking sixth in total yards allowed through two games as Warner credits Saleh’s return, while new WILL starter Dee Winters draws strong reviews, including a 78.5 PFF defensive grade.
