San Francisco 49ers Demolish the Green Bay Packers, 37-8

The Green Bay Packers suffered the toughest defeat this season against the San Francisco 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo and his crew rolled over Aaron Rodgers’s team, routing them with 37-8.

The two-time MVP posted his worst performance of the campaign. It is why Matt LaFleur decided to pull him out of the game in the last period. Also, he wanted to protect him from a possible injury in the moments when the game was already decided. Rodgers suffered 5 sacks for 38 negative yards, and threw just 104 yards, 20 for 33, and one TD. He would fumble the football on his opening drive of the night, and what was more impressive, Rodgers didn’t have a third-down completion during the entire match.

“We knew we were gonna have to make Aron uncomfortable, and that’s what we did,” said Nick Bosa following the game.

This @49ers defense does NOT mess around 😤

In all the aspects of the game, the hosts were better, and they didn’t allow for the NFC North leaders to feel comfortable. It seems that Kyle Shanahan completely outsmarted his former student, LaFleur. But not only that, the two other acquaintances who worked together had a clash which pretty much decided the result tonight. 49ers’ defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Packs’ offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett worked together in Houston, and it seems that Saleh won this battle, predicting almost every single move of his counterpart in this one.

“We got outcoached and we got outplayed,” LaFleur told the reporters in Santa Clara. “We’ve got to be a lot better.We gotta man up and look at ourselves critically. We gotta be honest with ourselves. It wasn’t nearly good enough”

On the other side, Jimmy G and his boys were instrumental, and didn’t have any problems to score against Green Bay’s defense. Garoppolo threw two touchdown passes, and both of them were more than spectacular. The first was to Deebo Samuel, for 42-yards, and the second one a 61-yard long beauty to George Kittle. Garoppolo ended  the night with 253 yards, 14 for 20, and two TDs.

“Jimmy Garoppolo is the leader of this football team, and we’d follow him into the darkest of dark places.” Richard Sherman said at the press.

Kittle, played with a chipped bone in his ankle, according to Shanahan, but it really didn’t reflect on his performance tonight. Rob Gronkowski’s successor had 6 catches for 129 yards and an above-mentioned TD.

The 49ers reached a lead with Tevin Coleman rushing for a 2-yard TD, 1:58 into the game. Chase McLaughlin’s two field goals extended that, before Samuel’s TD, and San Francisco’s kicker once again drilled a FG, from 48 yards with the first half expiring.

Kittle and Raheem Mostert sealed the game with two scores, while on the other side, Davante Adams managed to post one TD for the Packers.

Green Bay didn’t have a single guy on the offense who could contribute. Their two best players were Jamaal Williams with 45 rushing yards on 11 carries and Adams with 43 receiving on 6 catches.

It is a good thing for the Packs that they have two easy opponents coming up over the next two weeks. At first they travel to New York to meet the Giants, and after that await the sorry Washington Redskins. Right now, LaFleur’s team is leveled with the Minnesota Vikings at the top of the NFC North with 8-3.

On the other side, the 10-1 49ers have two extremely tough challenges coming up. Both of them are on the road. The first is in Baltimore next week, versus the Ravens, and the second in New Orleans against the Saints.
