The 49ers signed Ward to a three-year, $42 million contract in 2022 because they thought he was a shutdown cornerback. Someone opponents would fear.
This trend started Week 2 when the 49ers played the Rams. The 49ers won the game, but the Rams targeted Ward 9 times and completed 8 of the passes for 80 yards. They showed him no respect, which was interesting, because the Rams are a divisional opponent. They play the 49ers twice a season. Meaning they know the 49ers better than most teams, and they don't respect Ward.
Cut to Week 8. The 49ers play the Bengals, whose head coach is Zac Taylor who coached from the Rams in 2017 and 2018. So the Bengals target Ward 8 times, complete 5 passes, gain 68 yards and score a touchdown.
