Opponent's group in my power rankings at kickoff: Group A Group B Group C Group D Group F
49ers 27, Rams 7 (LAR -4). This was an even game in the first half, but the 49ers controlled the ball in the second half, as the Rams looked exhausted from traveling 24 hours beforehand, whereas the 49ers traveled a week earlier. 379-290 SF, 5.9-5.1 SF
49ERS 35, Dolphins 13 (SF -13). The 49ers dominated this game offensively, with Brock Purdy going 20-of-22. The Dolphins kept up for a while in the first half, but couldn't do anything outside of a garbage time touchdown in the second half. 382-284 SF, 7.8-5.1 SF
49ERS 36, Cardinals 30 (SF -8.5). The 49ers had great offenive production in this game until Mike Evans and Trent Williams got hurt. The 49ers were up big, but Jacoby Brissett garbage time and a muffed punt made this game close. 437 SF, 8.7-4.5 SF
49ERS 24, Broncos 14 (SF -2.5). This was a punting fest in the first half, but things opened up for the 49ers when the Broncos lost Patrick Surtain and Riley Moss to injury. This was still a close game, but George Kittle broke it wide open with a long touchdown. 358-296 SF, 5.5-4.6 SF
49ers 32, SEAHAWKS 29 (SEA -3). The Seahawks committed a number of mistakes throughout the game, giving the 49ers plenty of scoring opportunities. Mike Evans took advantage with a dominant performance. The Seahawks still had a chance to win, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba dropped a pass in field goal range. 269-251 SF, 4.8-4.2 SF
49ERS 23, Redskins 17 (SF -7.5). The 49ers led 23-3 and were dominating with Jayden Daniels being scared to run, but Mike Evans got hurt and the 49ers didn't score again. The Redskins nearly took the lead, but had some terrible play-calling late in the game. 375-314 SF, 6.3-5.1 SF
Bye week: Week 8.
