Only the 49ers could take a 41-17 lead and turn that into a game that comes down to the final possession. The stress levels were at an all-time high, but San Francisco pulled out a victory despite taking some substantial losses during the game.
Let’s look at some of the winners and losers from Sunday’s win over the Lions.
Winners
Deebo Samuel
Yes, he had the fumble that gave Detroit a chance to tie the game at the end. But, Samuel also led all receivers with 109 yards after the catch, caught nine of his 12 targets — six of them went for first downs — and reminded everyone how talented of a player he is when he’s healthy.
