Below is a mix of some key player and team stats provided by the 49ers Communications staff and Pro Football Focus.
Key Player Statistics
With the win, Jimmy Garoppolo became the second 49ers quarterback in franchise history to win each of his first three starts with the team. Y.A. Tittle won each of his first three starts between 1951 and 1952.
Garoppolo finished the game completing 31 of his 43 attempts for 381 yards, a touchdown, and a passer rating of 106.8. Garoppolo's 1,008 passing yards in his first three starts are the most by a 49ers quarterback in his first three starts in franchise history.
The Titans blitzed Garoppolo on 26 of his 46 dropbacks (56.5%). He was 16-of-23 for 214 yards and a 98.8 passer rating when blitzed.
Garoppolo was under pressure on 18 of his 46 dropbacks (39.1%). He was 12-of-15 for 135 yards and a 104.2 passer rating while under pressure.
For the second time in the past three weeks, Garoppolo engineered a game-winning scoring drive in the fourth quarter. Trailing 22-23 with 1:07 left in the game, he moved the offense down the field while completing three of his five attempts for 45 yards to set up kicker Robbie Gould for the game-winning 45-yard field goal as time expired.
With 381 passing yards, Garoppolo has thrown for over 300 yards passing in consecutive games for the first time in his career. He is the first 49ers quarterback to do so since Jeff Garcia had three consecutive 300-yard games in 2000.
Garoppolo has thrown for 1,008 yards over the past three games and he is the first 49ers quarterback to throw for over 1,000 yards three-game game span since Tim Rattay threw for 1,002 yards over three games in 2004.
In the first half, Garoppolo completed 18-of-26 attempts for 189 yards, a touchdown, and a passer rating of 102.9. His 18 completions were the most in a first half by a 49ers quarterback since Alex Smith went 18-of-29 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2009.
Left tackle Joe Staley allowed just one quarterback hurry.
Gould connected on a single-game career-high six field goals against the Titans, including the game-winning 45-yarder as time expired. His six made field goals tied the franchise record for most made in a single game (Ray Wersching – 10/16/83 at Saints, Jeff Wilkins – 9/29/96 vs. Falcons).
This season, Gould has made five-or-more field goals in three games (5-for-5 at Cardinals on 10/1, 5-for-5 at Bears on 12/3). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Gould joins Minnesota Vikings kicker Rich Karlis as the only players in NFL history to make 5-or-more field goals in three different games in a single season.
Gould's 36 field goals this season are a career high. His previous career-high was 33 made field goals in 2015. Gould's 36 made field goals also ranks second in franchise history for most made field goals in a season (David Akers – 44 made in 2011).
Gould's 20 consecutive field goals, which dates back to October 29, is the second-longest streak in 49ers franchise history (Phil Dawson – 27 consecutive in 2013).
Gould has made each of his four field goal attempts this season from 50-or-more yards. He hit one from 50 in the third quarter.
WR Marquise Goodwin registered a single-game career-high 10 receptions for 114 yards. Including his 106-yard performance last week against the Houston Texans, Goodwin has gone over 100 receiving yards in consecutive games for the first time in his career.
Goodwin is the first 49ers player to have 10 receptions in a game since September 21, 2014, when wide receiver Michael Crabtree had 10 for 80 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals.
50 of wide receiver Kendrick Bourne's single-game career-high 85 receiving yards came after the catch.
Tight end Garrett Celek had three receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown on a 5-yard scoring pass from Garoppolo. Celek now has a single-season career-high four touchdown receptions.
Running back Carlos Hyde only had 24 rushing yards on 16 carries, but had 29 yards after contact, which means he was hit behind the line of scrimmage for much of the game.
Cornerback K'Waun Williams allowed just two catches for 21 yards with one pass defensed.
Key Team Statistics
The 49ers defense pressured Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota on 14 of his 34 dropbacks.
The 49ers have won three consecutive games for the first time since November of 2014, when they did so at the New Orleans Saints (11/9/14), at the New York Giants (11/16/14), and versus the Washington Redskins (11/23/14).
Titans running backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry had just 78 yards on 25 carries while Tennessee had just 90 yards rushing on the day. The 49ers have held their opponent to under 100 yards rushing for the fourth consecutive game.
