The 49ers are winning in more ways than one. That’s the sign of a playoff-caliber team. In the NFL, you’ll have to put up 38 points to win sometimes. But, in the same breath, you’ll need to scratch and claw to get to 13 points in a victory, as we saw in Week 12.
Today, we’ll talk about the 49ers' offense and Jimmy Garoppolo. They faced a Saints team that was finally full strength on defense, and it showed. The Saints held the Niners to a 40 percent success rate, a 29 first down percentage, but San Francisco converted 50 percent of their late downs.
