Mike McGlinchey had a simple message for his critics after the San Francisco 49ers' 24-16 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.
He was indeed.
McGlinchey earned Pro Football Focus' highest offensive grade from the game. According to the analytics site, his 86.1 overall grade was his best of this season and his best performance since Week 13 of last season against the Baltimore Ravens. McGlinchey didn't allow a single pressure from Rams defenders on 35 pass-block snaps and earned his second-highest run-block grade (84.9) of the season.
However, the 49ers' highest-graded player and the highest-graded player of the game was cornerback
Jason Verrett. He finished the game with three tackles, an interception, and two passes defensed. Verrett didn't give up a reception on Sunday night.
The interception came at a critical moment in the fourth quarter and helped the 49ers regain control of the game.
"That fourth-and-(two) pick was probably the biggest play of the year," defensive lineman
Arik Armstead said following the game. "That was amazing to see. Obviously, you saw how excited everybody was for him."

49ers achieve "dream scenario" in latest PFF mock draft
While news of Arik Armstead's impending release could potentially alter the San Francisco 49ers' draft strategy, we'll first have to wait to see how the team addresses its defensive front in free agency. Assuming the 49ers brain trust has a plan in place and can execute it properly, that would leave them free to address the offensive line next month.
In the latest mock draft by analytics site Pro Football Focus, the 49ers are projected to do just that, with former Alabama tackle JC Latham falling to them at No. 31 overall.
"Admittedly, this is a dream scenario for the 49ers," analyst Dalton Wasserman wrote in the pre-free agency
