By the Numbers
The 49ers defense registered three interceptions in Week 1 (two returned for touchdowns), which tied for the most in the NFL (Tennessee Titans).
San Francisco looks to start the season 2-0 for the first time since the 2012 season. The 49ers also aim for back-to-back road wins to start a season for the first time since the 1989 season.
DE Nick Bosa was one of three rookies in the NFL to register at least one sack in their NFL debut in Week 1 (Clelin Ferrell, Oakland - 1.0; Jahlani Tavai, Detroit – 1.0).
Jimmy Garoppolo's career .818 winning percentage (9-2) as a starter is the highest among active quarterbacks (minimum 10 starts).
The Niners offense was 1 of 5 teams in Week 1 without a three-and-out drive (Houston, Kansas City, New Orleans, New York Giants).
