49ers rely on defense, Jimmy Garoppolo TD sneak to beat Eagles

The 49ers had plenty of difficulty getting their offense going in Week 2 against the Eagles, but a strong defensive outing and timely touchdowns netted the win.

Perhaps the San Francisco 49ers offense woke up a little groggy in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles, starting off with three consecutive 3-and-outs while Philly got on the board first in what eventually turned into a 17-11 win for the Niners, who are now 2-0 on the season.

That was the first time under head coach Kyle Shanahan where San Francisco’s offense started off with such a stat line, taking an extensive time to get much of anything going against what turned into a stout Eagles defense.
