We felt so good at the beginning how we came out in all three phases and then it was, the end of the second half was, for us to go down there, we were about to score, we ended up getting an interception. They go down and score. In my mind, that’s a 14- point swing. Then they come out and get a field goal to start, so that’s a 17-point swing. It’s tough to overcome against that kind of team. When K’Waun made that play I feel like it got the momentum back in us and everyone fed off each other. It was a good win.” How much can you attribute that to what QB Jimmy Garoppolo brought to the offense? “That’s huge, definitely. Jimmy has played great. Continued to do it today. I think the guys gained confidence. I think everyone around him was playing better too. Today, getting that many points, we don’t do that without the defense either. Those guys got us the turnovers. I think we had three. I think it was three-to-one and to do that against that team. They scored for us on one and to get us in scoring position twice, it was huge for them.” That may have been Jimmy’s first bad interception. Did you talk to him after or consult him after that interception? “Not much. He made the right read. He was throwing to an open guy. He just got hit as he was throwing it and that’s what happens.
