First the 49ers’ defense rallied from its rough start, then the offense and special teams did the same en route to a fourth-quarter comeback win over the Chargers.
SANTA CLARA — Here is how the 49ers graded in Sunday night’sJimmy Garoppolo played turnover-free for the fifth time , and he especially came through on third-and-long conversions, the best being a 24-yard shot to Brandon Aiyuk on third-and-10 that reached the 2-yard line to set up the go-ahead score. That Aiyuk catch was redemption for an earlier fumble and a goal-line drop en route to six total catches for a team-high 84 yards.
Garoppolo’s knack for short-yardage conversions came through with a third-and-goal touchdown from the 1, which made him 31-of-31 on third- and fourth-and-1 sneaks; he got stopped on his next third-and-1 try but converted on the ensuing fourth-and-1 snap. Samuel had a 5-yard run to open the go-ahead drive.
