A 30-10 win in Jacksonville. The 49ers improve to 5-5 with their third win in four weeks.
How it unfolded
The 49ers' opening drive lasted 20 plays and ended in a field goal. The next possession ended in a McCaffrey-style Mitchell touchdown. By the second quarter the 49ers were up 17-3. Samuel's rushing touchdown made it 24-3. Kittle's touchdown catch in the third pushed it to 30-3. The Jaguars finally scored late.
The turning point
The 20-play opening drive. Even ending in just a field goal, the 13-plus minutes the 49ers controlled the football on the first possession effectively wore down the Jaguars' defense for the rest of the day.
By the numbers
Garoppolo 17-of-26 for 176 with two TDs. Mitchell 27 carries for 89. Samuel 8 carries for 79 and a TD. Kittle 4 catches for 73 with a TD. Lawrence 17-of-26 for 167 with three sacks taken. Jaguars 200 yards total.
Personnel watch
Mitchell continuing as the lead back with 27 carries. Samuel adding the rushing element. Kittle in his third straight game with a TD. The defense generated three sacks and held the Jaguars to 200 total yards.
What it means
5-5 with three wins in the last four. The Vikings come up at home next, then the Seahawks on the road. The schedule favors the 49ers for the back half.
