The San Francisco 49ers fell short in a 40-34 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, falling to 6-10 on the season thanks to yet another embarrassing second half collapse.
Offensively, San Francisco played one of their better halves of football to start the game, taking a 21-13 lead into halftime with Brock Purdy and the passing game rolling. That, however, came to a halt in the second half, where the 49ers blew another lead en route to the double-digit loss.
Defensively, the 49ers didn’t have much of an answer for the Lions offensively, as Jared Goff eclipsed the 300-yard marker, while Jahmyr Gibbs reached 100 yards on the ground in a strong offensive performance by the Lions.
