Jimmy G’s first playoff start a mixed bag

Garoppolo’s first playoff start wasn’t perfect, but it got the job done. He threw it just 19 times, but he completed 11 for 131 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The more telling stat though is his six attempts in the second half. The 49ers all but put away their passing attack in the second half with their run game dominating. Garoppolo completed three of his six second-half throws for 26 yards. He also missed some throws early in the game that probably should’ve been completed. Garoppolo has to be better in the NFC championship, but he was good enough Saturday.
