The 49ers turned a game of what-ifs into a game of so-whats and now they sit alone atop the NFC West.
If they are not already, fans should start embracing the kind of low-down, dirty victory the Niners authored in their 13-0 win. The weather is turning for the worse — even here in California — and that means pretty, aesthetically pleasing football is on its way out, too.
Yes, it’s impressive that the Niners’ best looks like the league’s best when they’re on a mini-vacation south of the border. But it’s just as impressive to know that the Niners can still win when their all-around best isn’t available. “It was a gritty game,” Jimmy Garoppolo said. “I’m proud of the guys, just how they fought through all the adversity that was thrown at us. We just kept going. That was a good win for us.”
Garoppolo knows that as the calendar flips to December, the only goal is to survive. To thrive is a rare luxury.
