"You’ve got to be smart as players, look out for one another," he said after the game, via 49ers Web Zone. "There’s no place for that. I’m all right. A little sore but nothing bad."

Garoppolo threw for 222 yards and a touchdown to Jauan Jennings who made a terrific catch. However, it was the defense that really came through for the 49ers.
