There are times in which you see the San Francisco 49ers' talent on display. It might be a big play by Deebo Samuel or Christian McCaffrey, or a big stop for the defense.
It still isn't coming easy, but at least the 49ers got a win on Sunday night. The 49ers didn't lead until midway through the fourth quarter but finally broke through and got a 22-16 win to get them over .500. The running game kept wearing on the Los Angeles Chargers defense and eventually the dam broke.
The 49ers started to get back in the game in the second half, though they caught a rough break when linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected. Justin Herbert was hit from behind, which led to a helmet-to-helmet hit from Greenlaw to Herbert. It looked bad, Greenlaw was penalized and. Herbert left briefly to be evaluated for a concussion but was cleared to come back in the second half. The Chargers led 16-10 at halftime.
The 49ers ran it a lot against the Chargers defense, which still isn't great against the run. Elijah Mitchell was back and was actually more effective than McCaffrey on the ground. With Deebo Samuel getting a few rushes too, the 49ers had 157 total rushing yards.
