Jaguars Hand 49ers First Loss, 26–21, as Turnovers and Special Teams Prove Costly

The setback sharpened pressure to fix the run game and pass rush before a Thursday visit to the Rams.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy returned from a toe issue and went 22-of-38 for 309 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a lost fumble.
  • San Francisco’s ground game produced 83 yards on 24 carries and still has no rushing touchdowns through four games.
  • With Nick Bosa out, the 49ers logged zero sacks and zero quarterback hits while Jacksonville ran for 151 yards.
  • Coverage units allowed a 52-yard kickoff return and an 87-yard punt-return touchdown by Parker Washington that swung the game.
  • Receivers Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall left with injuries before returning but had no catches afterward, and the NFC West is now tied heading into Thursday’s divisional matchup.
