Justin Herbert has REGRESSED under Mike McDaniel. And Jim Harbaugh will start a season 0-2 for the first time in his li

What happened: Herbert went 15-for-27 for 192 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 2. He opened Week 1 at 17-of-27 for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Why it matters: It is the first 0-2 start of Harbaugh's head-coaching career at any level. The slow start has put early pressure on the reworked offense installed with Mike McDaniel.

By the numbers: Through two weeks: 32-of-54 (59.3%) for 401 yards, 2 touchdowns, 3 interceptions.

What to watch: Watch how McDaniel adjusts the passing operation before Week 3.
