49ers

Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18 of 26 attempts for 206 yards and two touchdowns in the win. He also took six sacks, which Kyle Shanahan calls a group effort.

Matt Breida’s 66-yard touchdown was the play of the day in Sunday’s win. Pierre Garcon’s monster lead-block only added to it.

Contrary to Week 1, Sunday’s win is somewhat discouraging, considering the avalanche of events that nearly pushed the 49ers to 0-2, despite a 17-point fourth-quarter lead.

The 49ers held off Detroit’s late rally to secure their first win of the 2018 season.

The 49ers and Lions square off in Week 2 Sunday. The matchup features Matt Patricia, Kyle Shanahan, and Jimmy Garoppolo, who worked with and against each other in past roles.

The second-year tight end was San Francisco’s most productive receiver in Sunday’s loss.

The 49ers are well-represented in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2019 class of 102 nominations.
