49ers Fall to Jaguars 26-21 as Pass Rush Vanishes and Turnovers Mount

The defeat highlighted how Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL loss has left San Francisco’s defense without its edge.

Overview

  • San Francisco dropped to 3-1 with a 26-21 home loss to Jacksonville at Levi’s Stadium, its first defeat of the season.
  • The 49ers recorded zero sacks and zero quarterback hits for the first time since 2015 as Trevor Lawrence went 21-of-31, and the Jaguars added 151 rushing yards including a 48-yard Travis Etienne score.
  • San Francisco committed four turnovers, with Brock Purdy throwing two interceptions and losing a late strip sack; the quarterback said the ball security issues start with him.
  • Special teams surrendered an 87-yard punt return touchdown to Parker Washington and allowed additional long returns that swung field position.
  • The run game stalled at 83 yards on 24 carries, leaving the 49ers as the NFL’s only team without a rushing touchdown through four games ahead of Thursday’s visit to the Rams.
