All things considered, a loss for the 49ers was highly likely on Sunday. Although the 49ers did end up taking the L, the game was closer than the 5-point differential suggested, which is a (silver linings) victory in itself. For the most part, the defense played well, including two confirmed takeaways, and a couple others that just didn’t go the 49ers’ way. The offense wasn’t spectacular, but it performed admirably between losing key contributors (Matt Breida, Dante Pettis) early on, and facing a league-leading defense. I know it doesn’t ease the sting of losing, but the 14-9 decision in Sunday’s game is less embarrassing than the 15-6 decision put up by the Los Angeles Rams against this same team a few weeks ago.
