Lose ball, lose job? 49ers RBs focused on ball security

How does it feel when a would-be touchdown becomes a turnover?

Unfortunately for DuJuan Harris, he can provide the answer.

On Saturday, the 49ers running back appeared poised to finish off a 12-yard scoring run … before he fumbled at the one-yard line when smacked by two Denver defenders. Harris fell into the end zone and loose ball fell in the hands of cornerback John Tidwell.

“It just shows life can change real quick,” Harris said. “Things could have been going really well and it turned for the worse.”

Harris’ fumble was the most gut-wrenching, but it wasn’t unique.
