SANTA CLARA – Despite having problems earlier in the game, rookie running back Jeff Wilson Jr. heard his number called at the most critical time on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
“They could’ve done a million things,” Wilson said of the 49ers’ coaching staff. “They could’ve put someone else back there. They don’t know what they did to my life by sticking with me and putting me back in that game and letting me finish.
“I didn’t want to end like that. That would’ve been a tough apple for me to bite. Going back out there just rejuvenated me.
