Below is a mix of some key player and team stats provided by the 49ers Communications staff and Pro Football Focus.

Key Player Statistics

Garoppolo's 293 yards passing were a career-high. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the total set a 49ers franchise record for most passing yards by a player in his first start.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Garoppolo is one of seven active quarterbacks to win each of his first three starts (Drew Brees in 2002, Ben Roethlisberger in 2004, Mark Sanchez in 2009, Brock Osweiler in 2015, Carson Wentz in 2016, and Trevor Siemian in 2016).

Trailing 12-14 with 5:27 left to play in the game, Garoppolo led a 14-play, 86-yard drive to set up the game-winning field goal by kicker Robbie Gould with four seconds left on the clock. On the drive, Garoppolo completed five of his six attempts for 54 yards and converted on three third-down plays.

Garoppolo was 10-of-14 for 109 yards on third downs, with seven conversions. The 49ers converted 4-of-7 on third-and-long (6-9 yards to go). He was productive on intermediate throws (10-19 yards downfield) where he was 9-of-12 for 162 yards and an interception.

Garoppolo completed all eight of his passes for 105 yards while using play action.

Garoppolo was under pressure on just nine of his 40 dropbacks.

In his first game back in Chicago, kicker Robbie Gould tied his career high with five made field goals (5-for-5 at Arizona on October 1, 2017), including the 24-yard game-winning field goal with four seconds left in the game. He became the first player to make five field goals at Soldier Field since December 28, 2012, when Carolina Panthers kicker Justin Medlock did it.

Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin set a new single-game career high in receptions with eight and finished with a game-high 99 receiving yards.

Wide receiver Trent Taylor finished the game setting single-game career highs in receptions (6) and reception yards (92).
