The good news for Nick Bosa is that 19 of the Panthers' 36 pressures allowed and four of the teams' 11 sacks allowed have been credited to rookie Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton, both of the Panthers' tackles. With the 49ers missing both Javon Kinlaw and Arik Armstead out, there will be more pressure to contain Christian McCaffrey in the run game than usual on the 49ers linebackers. He already has 270 rush yards and 318 receiving yards, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise as McCaffrey has more than half of the touches for the Panthers' offense, 77 of 150. While health has always been a concern for the Panthers' running back, McCaffrey has been able to stay on the field and has once again proved why he’s such a threat. The 49ers should be the better team on Sunday in Carolina. Led by Matt Rhule, Carolina has the 32nd-ranked offense and the 16th-ranked defense in the league through four weeks.

49ers team photographer Michael Zagaris' book "Field of Play" shows fans what life in the NFL is really like for players.

By 1972, Zagaris wanted to incorporate the 49ers and the NFL back into his life. When an out-of-breath Van Zant finally stopped, Zagaris asked him about his infatuation with the quarterback. Zagaris’ access and likeability at times allowed him to match up superstar entertainers from the music and sports worlds. It was the night he was partying at Eric Clapton’s Sausalito hotel and showing him stories and photos from a music project. The first of two seminal moments shaping both his psyche and his career path came at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, where Zagaris was a volunteer for Kennedy’s presidential campaign. Showing once again his audacity had no bounds, he talked the 49ers into creating a role for him. The unfiltered look at pro football in “Field of Play” includes scores of behind-the-scenes, never-before-seen images from his 49 years as the 49ers team photographer and his time shooting Oakland Raiders games during their heyday in the ‘70s. Although Zagaris has long lived life by the seat of his faded Levi’s while a trusty Canon sat strapped around his neck, it wasn’t always this way. “The best place to be is within listening distance to hear his endless stream of wild tales from his firsthand experiences in sports and rock ’n’ roll.” Could Zagaris catch heat from the NFL for his book’s graphic photos, including one of Young lying face down on a trainer’s table, two 49ers doctors at his side holding his arms while a third physician plunges a needle into his back? The image-conscious NFL won’t be thrilled with some of the more revealing photos from Zagaris’ six decades of shooting games, notably ones showing old 49ers such as Steve Young, Bill Romanowski and Montana receiving pain-killing injections in the locker room. Maybe it’s the astonishing story of rock ‘n roll excess from touring and hanging out with the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynyrd.

At his current pace, Nick Bosa would finish with a record 25 1/2 sacks and then receive a contract extension that would make him the highest paid ...

Nor does Bosa simply line up and destroy the blockers in front of him. Bosa’s stock in trade is pressuring the quarterback, but he’s played between 73 and 78 percent of the snaps in four games. With the floor being Donald’s $31.6 million average, don’t be surprised if Bosa checks in at five years and $165 million (an average of $33 million) or more. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Ohio State and looked like a finished product the first time he took the field. Donald, the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the year for the Los Angeles Rams as a defensive tackle, has a $31.6 million average salary that is the highest in the NFL aside from a dozen quarterbacks. With their quarterback of the future already under contract, the 49ers would be in position to pay up — in a big way. As it is, Bosa is tied to the 49ers through a fifth-year option worth $17.859 million, though rest assured he won’t step on the field under those terms. “Typically, it costs a team more the longer they wait to sign a Pro Bowl-caliber player,” Corry said. “So as long as I can do that a lot, it gives our defense a chance to be the best.” The 49ers having Trey Lance on a cost-controlled rookie contract helps in that regard.” With six sacks in four games, he’s on pace for 25 1/2, which with the help of a 17th game would obliterate the existing record of 22 1/2 by Pittsburgh’s T.J. “He has the same agent as his brother.

On this day, quarterback Frankie Albert passed for five touchdowns as the 49ers celebrated their greatest win in the All-America Football Conference.

The 49ers have a 17-9 lead midway through the third quarter. He’s a big loss for the 49ers’ defense. The 49ers announced early in the third quarter that Bosa will not return to the game.

Star defensive linemen missed the first series of the second half and was ruled out shortly after.

Bosa was seen high-fiving his fellow defensive linemen on the sideline. The severity of Nick’s injury is not known at this time. Nickel back Demmodore Lenoir was also seen heading to the locker room with medical personnel and kicker Robbie Gould was ruled out at the start of the fourth quarter with a left knee injury.

The Niners lost Moseley, Bosa, Ward, and Gould to an injury today.

That wasn’t the final injury, as Emmanuel Moseley went down toward the end of the game and was holding his knee. Prior to the final garbage time drive, the Panthers were below average in EPA per play, success rate, and first down rate. Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk seemed like they were in a bit of a rut today. It’ll go a long way in the offense’s success moving forward. Jimmy Garoppolo threw a near interception on the second drive, and karma was returned after George Kittle fumbled. This time, Emmanuel Moseley stepped in front of a Baker Mayfield pass.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's game against the Carolina Panthers with a groin injury.

The 49ers (3-2) overcame injuries to Nick Bosa, Jimmie Ward, Emmanuel Moseley and Robbie Gould to down the host Carolina Panthers (1-4)

Ward, starting as a hybrid linebacker, injured his left hand after cutting into the backfield to try stopping a McCaffrey 9-yard run. Garoppolo directed a touchdown drive on the game’s first series, however. That cued CBS’ broadcast to note that the Panthers had lost 24 in a row when yielding at least 17 points. Panthers kicker Eddie Pineiro missed a field goal on their ensuing possession; he made his next three attempts. Also getting into the scoring act, for the first time in his five-year career, was cornerback Emmanuel Moseley. It started with his first catch of the day (16 yards), followed by a 3-yard run, and kept alive by a pass-interference penalty he drew against a Carolina cornerback on fourth-and-3. Bosa was on the sideline, still in full uniform, while that drive unfolded without him. On third-and-goal from the 4, Samuel scored his second touchdown in as many games. That his potential ACL tear came on artificial grass had teammates like George Kittle fuming and recalling other ACL tears in wins on artificial tear before Greenbrier layovers, such as to Bosa and Solomon Thomas in 2020 at the New York Jets, and Jason Verrett last year at Detroit. Bosa, shut down at halftime with a tight groin, might not be the only 49er missing from that next outing. That alone could dampen the win, but other injury exits were made by kicker Robbie Gould (knee), defensive back Jimmie Ward (hand) and, with 4:12 remaining, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, who sustained a likely-season ending anterior cruciate ligament tear. “I was not necessarily the No.

The Carolina Panthers offense has been consistently inconsistent. And they have quarterback Baker Mayfield to mostly thank for that.

Mayfield completed 10 of his 17 throws for 95 yards to that point. Following a timely blocked field goal by the duo of defensive linemen Derrick Brown and Yetur Gross-Matos, the Panthers took over at their own 22-yard line down just seven with the first half winding down. [batted pass](https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/10/05/panthers-qb-baker-mayfield-batted-passes/), his throw found the hands of San Francisco 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley—who took the interception back for a 41-yard return to the end zone.

– The 49ers defense stiffens again near the red zone and holds the Panthers to a field goal. – Not a good start to the fourth quarter. That’s a bad rep for the 49ers LT and the 49ers have to settle for a field goal. – Garoppolo’s second TD pass of the day goes to Samuel on a third-and-goal. – A couple penalties by the 49ers and a nice deep throw by Mayfield to Robbie Anderson got Carolina back into field goal range. 51 yards on seven plays for the Panthers to open the second half. A pick-six by Emmanuel Moseley puts the 49ers up two touchdowns late in the first half. – And there’s the 49ers defense. Coleman on the other end made a sweet leaping catch for a 30-yard gain and a first down. Nice throw by the QB and a good catch on the back end. Kittle fumbles on a first-and-10 throw and the Panthers recovered. Great throw for a conversion on third-and-6 to extend the first drive.

The 49ers' defense again was dominant, helping fuel a convincing 37-15 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Samuel opened the second half with a 16-yard reception on a second-and-15 play. Garoppolo was 11-of-13 for 136 yards on passes intended for his other targets. Yet, the 49ers had not led by more than eight points in the first half of any game this season — until Sunday’s game. Wilson carried 17 times for 120 yards and a touchdown. Talanoa Hufanga put away the 49ers’ Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Rams with a pick-six against Matthew Stafford. He immediately was ruled out, and his status for upcoming games is in question.

So, let's read it. Final score: 49ers 37, Panthers 15. Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports ...

Up 24-12 with just under 14 minutes remaining in the game, the 49ers dialed up No. San Francisco racked up 10 gains of at least 15 yards on the day. It was over when .

In the first quarter alone, 49ers running backs and tight ends combined for six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown. “As a leader on the team, I put it on me. He missed a 41-yard first-quarter try, his first miss of the season. But Carolina’s defense began to wear down in the third quarter. It was a pivotal call as it came on fourth down from the 49ers’ 45-yard line. “The pick-six really was a gut punch,” Rhule said. Carolina scored its first touchdown on a fourth-and-1 rush from McCaffrey, who hit a cut-back lane and cruised 19 yards to the end zone. Backup PJ Walker played the Panthers last series as Rhule pulled Mayfield and McCaffrey after San Francisco went up 22 points with three minutes to play. That really helped kind of Ignite things on the second half and maybe you can do some more stuff to help us,” Rhule said.

He’s one of those guys that you know where he’s going to be, you know he’s going to do the right thing, and when you have a guy like that as a quarterback, you can put that ball up and trust him and it’s fun. Time together both on and off the field will help them continue to get their rhythm back. Running back Tevin Coleman, who was the 49ers' biggest surprise out of the locker room, was not a surprise to Garoppolo. “I’ve been with Tev in the past, and he’s just Mr. The 49ers improved in the area that had plagued them through the first four weeks of the season — their third-down conversion rate. Garoppolo finished the day completing 18 of his 30 attempts for 253 passing yards and two touchdowns.

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Carolina Panthers 37-15 to secure their first road win of the 2022 season.

The second-year safety continues to load up the stat sheet, recording the 49ers first sack of the game for the loss of a yard. The veteran kicker was questionable with a knee injury before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. DeMeco Ryans' unit followed up their 7.0 sack performance versus the Los Angeles Rams with a 6.0 sack outing for a total loss of 31 yards versus Carolina. 28 closed out the night with 8 carries for 23 yards and a touchdown on the ground and 3 catches for 44 yards and another score through the air against the Panthers. Ward saw action on San Francisco's opening drive before being ruled out in the first quarter with a hand injury. On his first touch of the 2022 season, Coleman hauled in a nine-yard touchdown pass from Garoppolo to get San Francisco on the board. The running back scored once more in the fourth quarter, capping off a two-play drive with a five-yard rushing touchdown to give the 49ers the 37-15 advantage. He added a one-yard touchdown of his own later in the fourth quarter. Moseley also recorded two passes defensed before he was ruled out late in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. This is the second-straight game in which the 49ers have recorded a pick-six. That triple-digit rating marks Garoppolo's best outing of the 2022 regular season and his highest rating since December of 2021 against the Atlanta Falcons. That definitely took away a little of the excitement at the end, but we know the deal.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The San Francisco 49ers defense is making a habit of scoring points. For the second week in a row, the Niners defense came up with a ...

It's the first time the Niners have recorded a pick-six in back-to-back games since 2000. The Niners are one of three teams with multiple defensive touchdowns this season. Moseley then maneuvered his way through Carolina's defense, taking it 41 yards for the touchdown to help San Francisco take a 17-3 lead into halftime.

Despite a solid defensive outing, the Carolina Panthers' offense could not keep up with the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Later in the game, Wilson tackled running back Tevin Coleman behind the line of scrimmage to force a 49ers fourth-down and sacked quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for two more eye-opening plays. Just minutes later, Henderson gave up a big third-down play early in the fourth quarter and missed crucial tackles as the outing continued. Gross-Matos finished his impressive game with four total tackles, one of which was for a loss. Largely because of Mayfield’s dreadful performance, but also thanks to factors like poor play calling, the Panthers’ offense continued that trend on Sunday. The play allowed the Panthers to extend their forced turnover streak to three games after takeaways against the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old running back burst out of the locker room in the second half and immediately returned the opening kickoff 45 yards. With the On the next 49ers kickoff, Blackshear made Gould feel some déjà vu. 1 overall pick failed to establish a rapport with any of his receivers, mistiming throws and hesitating on everything from check-downs to deep shots. Instead, Mayfield pump-faked a pass to McCaffrey before throwing it over his head, resulting in a But seven plays later, McCaffrey ran in that 19-yard score to cut San Francisco’s lead to one score. His numbers, per usual, were underwhelming—as he completed 20 of his 36 throws for just 215 yards, no touchdowns and an interception.

The good news is Shanahan said the kicker avoided a significant injury and instead is dealing with a bruise to his knee. Shanahan said he had a wrist issue, but he did return to the game.

On the day, Mayfield finished with 215 passing yards on 20-for-36 pass attempts, and was sacked four times. The Baker Mayfield era in Carolina was off to a rocky start even before Sunday’s showing against the 49ers.

The 49ers systematically dismantled the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and improved to an NFC West-leading 3-2 on the season.

The 49ers went for it on a fourth-down play and picked up the first down due to a pass-interference penalty in the second half. The team found a near-perfect balance with run and pass on offense. It certainly was not a completely clean game, but it was about as good as the 49ers have played this season. He got the 49ers on the board with a 9-yard pass to Coleman in the first quarter. The 49ers gave up kick returns of 45 and 48 yards. But immediately after that, the 49ers stopped McCaffrey on a two-point try from the 1-yard line. (He denied that, by the way.) George Kittle led the 49ers with five receptions, but he lost a fumble after a first-quarter catch. Then, he got up and weaved his way into the Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey got the 49ers only once, as he scored on a 19-yard run on a fourth-and-1 play in the second half. And the blocking up front appears to be getting better and better, too.

But before he was injured in the opener last season with a torn ACL, he was considered the 49ers best cornerback. Thomas struggled mightily when forced into the lineup last season as a rookie out of Michigan who opted out in the COVID year. Coleman played for Shanahan when he was the offensive coordinator in Atlanta as well as with the 49ers in 2019-20. Each had a sack against Carolina in the second half while Bosa was out. Verrett made it back to practice last week and still might be a week away. Along with Charvarius “Mooney” Ward, it gave the 49ers their best cornerback tandem in terms of coverage in recent memory. The expected loss of Moseley stings. They’ll be needed again as starters against Atlanta, and considering Armstead weighs 290 pounds and has trouble with both feet and that Kinlaw could be maintaining a surgically repaired knee all season, they’ll get plenty of work. He’ll keep the job through the Atlanta game while the 49ers keep their fingers crossed Williams can return for an Oct. Shared a sack with Oren Burks against Carolina. The rookie from LSU would join a crowded room that also includes former 1,000-yard rusher Marlon Mack and undrafted rookie Jordan Mason. So is left tackle Colton McKivitz, who as the “next man up” when Williams went down.

Read what head coach Matt Rhule, Baker Mayfield and other Panthers players said to the media after the game.

And like I said, I respect the man, I respect the man. *RE: You talked about with me last week, pointing the thumb and not the finger and everybody's got to look in the mirror and point the thumb not the finger? I would just say, I expected a lot out of us and I feel like we got a lot more that we can, we can do and we ain't really, we ain't really holding up our end of the bargain. All that stuff I heard today, you know from the fans and the boos and all the red and the fire Rhule, all that. I think there are a lot of details to be ironed out and a lot of things, like I said, to get fixed. Obviously, we have a lot to get fixed to get to that point. We have to be better, we have to make those plays. Like I said, have to look at the tape, have to see the details of our third down plays and why we are not executing them. I think he is a guy you will continue to see his role amplified because, obviously, in a start to the season that we don't like in terms of the record and all that, I think Laviska has been a bright spot. There are a lot of guys there that are proud and want to win. After this game and the totality of the last 12 games, do you feel like just getting a little bit better isn't doing it justice to what you guys do need to do? What and who was behind the decision to go for two that early in the quarter?

In 280 and 279 BC, King Pyrrhus won two battles against the Romans during the Pyrrhic War while suffering a very high number of casualties.

This isn’t to blame Shanahan or any one person for the number of players that have gone down. [ 49ers in Five podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3mWHKNWMdC6Pojka3tyBio?si=ab98a11e110547fe). Every year since then, the 49ers have been among the ten most injured teams in football. They’ve been among the top four most injured teams in three of those four years. In 280 and 279 BC, King Pyrrhus won two battles against the Romans during the Pyrrhic War while suffering a very high number of casualties. Arik Armstead, Javon Kinlaw, and Nick Bosa are down along the defensive line.

49ers RB Tevin Coleman punched in two touchdowns vs. the Panthers in his return to real action for San Francisco.

Sunday was his first opportunity of the season, and given how he played, it’s hard to believe that’ll be his last. In the game, we going to get it. In the game, we going to get it.’ I was just ready for that play. So he was like, ‘in the game we going to get it. The first time Jimmy Garoppolo made that throw to Coleman was Sunday. Coleman was good for San Francisco during their Super Bowl run in 2019 after he signed a two-year deal with them prior to that season.

Another week, another rash of injuries to key players for the 49ers. The most significant in the immediate aftermath of Sunday’s game appears to Emmanuel Moseley, who the team believes has a torn ACL. The 49ers had six more sacks Sunday to give them a league-high 21 through the first five weeks. Special teams were a disaster for the 49ers on Sunday. They needed a spark at RB and Coleman provided with one touchdown each on the ground and in the air. It’s getting to the point where the 49ers may not be able to manage these health issues. Kittle’s lack of touches became a story in the week leading up to the Panthers game, and for good reason. After missing the first two weeks with a groin injury, Kittle returned to post just 52 yards on six catches in his first two contests of the year. San Francisco answered with a 10-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a Garoppolo TD pass to Samuel that put San Francisco up 24-9. Shoutout to Coleman who stepped in as the RB2 the 49ers have lacked since Tyrion Davis-Price went down in Week 2. The 49ers needed to go into Carolina and win convincingly. Squeaking by with a win, or worse, suffering a loss, wasn’t going to convince anyone San Francisco is headed the right direction.

Matt Rhule entered the Carolina Panthers' clash against the 49ers on Sunday riding the proverbial coaching hot seat, and a date with the 49ers' defense ...

The 49ers have compiled 21 sacks this season, as many as the Arizona Cardinals (6), Seattle Seahawks (8) Detroit Lions (7) have tallied combined. Ryans' unit has yet to allow 20 points in a game this season. I’m really just here to talk about the game. I would never want to make this about me.” "Remember 33 months ago, when Panthers owner David Tepper camped out in Waco waiting for the Baylor coach to come off a family vacation, then signed him to a seven-year, $62 million contract to keep him away from the [New York] Giants? “I hope you guys can understand, I’m here to talk about the game,” Rhule told reporters.

The 49ers were only up three points late in the second quarter until Emmanuel Moseley returned a Baker Mayfield interception 41 yards for a touchdown, ...

Not to be outdone, Tevin Coleman played the role of a dual-threat running back well on Sunday with a rushing touchdown and three receptions for 44 yards with a receiving touchdown as well. With Carolina relying heavily on Christian McCaffrey on third downs, with seven touches on the 15 attempts, linebackers Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner combined for six of their combined 20 tackles, with Warner collecting a sack to boot. The 49ers as a team averaged 5.3 yards per carry on 29 attempts, with Jeff Wilson leading the way with 120 yards and a touchdown on 17 attempts. Jimmy Garoppolo came up big on third downs completing eight of nine passes for 118 yards and a touchdown with the biggest coming on a 30-yard completion by Tevin Coleman late in the first quarter that led to a field goal. Garoppolo spread the ball around well on third downs as well, completing a pass to six different 49ers pass catchers. Unfortunately, we can’t say the 49ers won in every facet of the game.

Jimmy Garoppolo led the San Francisco 49ers in a rout of the Carolina Panthers, 37-15, on the road in Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season. The 49ers climbed to ...

The 49ers notched a pick-6 for the second time in as many games. The 49ers have only had four guys with 40-plus receiving yards in a single game six times since 2019. Overall, he completed 18-of-30 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown, good for a passer rating of 109.4. This is not good news as the 49ers are already dealing with a spate of injured personnel. Speaking of that injury, some within the 49ers organization believe he has a ruptured ACL. The Panthers have dropped to 1-4 in the season and We feel like his breakthrough game appears to be on the way, and the fact that the 49ers used him so frequently in the first half on Sunday is a very good sign that he’s rounding into game shape. Keep in mind that Kittle returned after missing the first two weeks with a groin injury to record 52 yards on six catches in his first two games of the season. Additionally, each of the following players had their first sack of the season: Fred Warner, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, and Talanoa Hufanga. Charles Omenihu and Drake Jackson had a sack each, giving them a total of 2.0 for the season. Not surprisingly, they added six more sacks on Sunday, giving them a league-high 21 in the first five weeks. Emmanuel Moseley intercepted Panthers QB Baker Mayfield and returned it 41 yards for a touchdown.

The Carolina Panthers fired head coach Matt Rhule on Monday, less than 24 hours after they lost 37-15 to the 49ers.

On Sunday, the Niners controlled every facet of the game. On the other side of the ball, the Panthers offense looked like a lost cause. to have their best games of the season.

Both Charvarius Ward and Talanoa Hufanga both said the injury took a lot away from the victory. There’s no guarantee he’ll miss time, as Ward could play with a club on his hand. It definitely took away a little from the excitement.”

When Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't turn the ball over, this version of the 49ers are extremely hard to beat.

Spread the ball around to the likes of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Jauan Jennings. Garoppolo has had back-to-back games of no interceptions, leading the 49ers to a 2-0 record. The last time he had back-to-back games of no interceptions was in Weeks 14-15 of last season vs. Garoppolo and the 49ers moved to 17-5 after Sunday’s win when the quarterback didn’t throw an interception. It was followed by an absolute laser on third down that was thrown in between defenders to keep the chains moving. Per Niners Nation’s very own Jordan Elliott, Jimmy Garoppolo was 8-of-9, 118 yards, 1 touchdown with one touchdown, and no interceptions on third down.

San Francisco's fifth-year cornerback suffered the injury in the same game as he scored his first career touchdown.

He has recorded one interception in each of his first five NFL seasons. He picked off Baker Mayfield with 55 seconds left in the first half and returned it 41 yards for the score. The 26-year-old, a native of Greensboro, N.C.,

Tack on another field goal for the Panthers, but Coleman wasn’t finished on the day. Kyle Shanahan will provide clarity in the coming days, but for now, enjoy the easy victory, 49ers fans. The 49ers answered with a long touchdown drive finished off by Wilson, Jr. The drive would end with a Robbie Gould field goal, and the 49ers would lead 10-0. The teams traded punts, and the Panthers blocked a Gould field goal attempt. Deebo Samuel would haul in a four-yard touchdown from Garoppolo. First, Garoppolo stands in the pocket and delivers a 50/50 ball. Looks like 90% of the stadium is 49er fans in Carolina.— CROCKY (@eric_crocker) Just a great throw and an even better catch from the tandem. Coleman punctuated the drive as he continued his dominance over the Panthers. Unfortunately, after consecutive catches from George Kittle, he fumbled and turned the ball over. The 49ers faithful have a reputation for invading opposing stadiums, and Sunday was no different.

The San Francisco 49ers crushed the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, and here are the players most important to that cause.

Coleman finished the game with eight carries for 23 yards and a touchdown. Excluding Wilson’s numbers, the 49ers only had 33 yards on the ground. The running back, who missed half of the 2021 season with an injury, had his biggest game since returning. His display in 2022 is showing that he still has much left in the tank. In the final minute of the first half, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley intercepted Baker Mayfield’s pass. The running back, who was part of the team’s practice squad, was elevated ahead of Week 5. Against the Panthers, Garoppolo completed 18 of his 30 pass attempts for 253 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. These are the must-win games that could come back and bite a team later in the season in case the results are negative. The veteran has completed 60.7% of his passes for 857 yards for five scores against just one pick. San Francisco is now at the top of the NFC West. After a major setback with Trey Lance’s season-ending injury in Week 2, it seems the San Francisco 49ers are on track for another solid season. Without them, the game could have been a close one.
