The 49ers’ win over the Chargers wasn’t pretty, but it was satisfying and moved them to within a half-game of the NFC West lead. Here's a look at the team's report card:
Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner had seven tackles apiece. Greenlaw played less than half the game, as he was ejected after officials ruled his hit against Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to be flagrant.
Herbert completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 196 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Safety Talanoa Hufanga clinched the game with an interception in the final minute of the game. Charles Omenihu got pressure on Herbert to force the bad throw. Carter beat Hufanga for a 32-yard touchdown reception from Herbert to cap the first drive of the game.The big play from the 49ers’ special teams came when Mitch Wishnowsky’s punt was down by Sam Womack at the 1-yard line with two minutes remaining in the game. As it turns out, long-snapper Taybor Pepper might've gotten away with a huge mental mistake when he bumped Womack into the end zone in celebration.
The 49ers out-gained the Chargers in total yards, 387 to 238. But they’re still settling for too many field goals.
