2) What happened to give San Francisco their lone loss?

A missed kick in overtime is the biggest culprit, but the thing that often gets overlooked in the evaluation of that loss is who wasn’t available for the 49ers. George Kittle didn’t play in that game, and Emmanuel Sanders left in the second quarter. It’s not a coincidence Jimmy Garoppolo’s worst game of the year came without the team’s two best pass catchers. Deebo Samuel has been good since that loss to the Seahawks, but he can’t be the only pass catching threat. The 49ers dropped nine passes, including two on third downs deep in the red zone. Another was deflected for an interception. That game likely goes differently if the 49ers have a full stable of pass catchers, or a non-rookie kicker making his debut with the team.
