49ers Rewind: Defense shines while Garoppolo shakes off rough start

The San Francisco 49ers started their season with back-to-back victories for the second time in three seasons thanks to a tough 17-11 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Let’s take a look at a few of the top points of discussion that have come out of Sunday’s game.

1. Jimmy Garoppolo is maddening.
