49ers Grades For Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Dante Pettis & Jason Verrett vs. Steelers

San Francisco 49ers Grades from their 24-20 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers was a gutsy win for the 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo and the offense moved the ball at will but had 5 turnovers which killed drives. Running backs Matt Brieda and Raheem Mostert ran the ball well but Mostert had a costly fumble in the redzone. However, with the game on the line, Jimmy Garoppolo found Dante Pettis for a touchdown which sealed the win and moved the 49ers to 3-0 for the first time since 1998. Thomas Mott is handing out his grades for the offense, defense, special teams and more in today’s 49ers Report.

IN THE VIDEO ABOVE AND BELOW Jimmy Garoppolo’s poise in the pocket is the biggest storyline from the 49ers’ week 3 win. The offensive line missed Joe Staley and it was evident. Luckily, Garoppolo and his quick release helped him get the ball out of harm's way in a hurry. Despite the constant pressure, the Steelers defense only had one sack and the Steelers offense was unable to capitalize on turnovers. That earned Jimmy G an A+ in Thomas Motts’ grade book.

On the defensive side of things, the 49ers’ defense looked solid once again. The defensive line held the Steelers to only 79 yards rushing. Mason Rudolph was under pressure the entire day and was forced into some bad throws. Pass rushers DeForest Buckner and Dee Ford each had crucial sacks which helped keep the 49ers in the game all day.

On special teams, Robbie Gould made his only field goal attempt. The 49ers also had 5 penalties for 71 yards and those 5 costly turnovers. The worst part is that Mostert should have had a second fumble which would have counted for 6 turnovers on the day.
