VIDEO: 49ers Take Late Lead as Jimmy Garoppolo Hits RB Jeff Wilson for Game-Winning TD
By Scott Rogust
There's some serious magic going on in Santa Clara! The San Francisco 49ers faced an early deficit against the rival Arizona Cardinals, but came back to pull within 26-23 in the fourth quarter. With a little over 30 seconds remaining, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo hit running back Jeff Wilson Jr., who burst past linebacker Chandler Jones in coverage to find paydirt and give the 49ers the late lead.
Why Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury made Jones covering a running back, we'll never know. But the 49ers certainly won't complain. That's the winner, and it takes them to 9-1. Survival mode on a short week. Whatever it takes!
