Stud: QB Jimmy Garoppolo

Garoppolo quietly had a great game when his team needed it the most. Mistake-free, efficient football was the key, and the quarterback delivered. He finished with a career-high 12.7 yards per attempt on 20 passes. He completed 14 of his throws for 253 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers. It was the fourth time in the last five weeks he’s completed 70 percent of his passes. While he still had some trouble moving around in the pocket, his confidence throwing was through the roof (perhaps in part because of Kittle’s return). Garoppolo now has 20 touchdowns to 10 interceptions on the season.
