After the game, Juszczyk spoke with team reporter Lindsey Pallares, acknowledging the sense of urgency inside the locker room this week. The team was eager to bounce back after dropping three of their last four games, making this a crucial contest that could serve as a turning point for what has been an underperforming squad so far this season.
"We knew we needed to get this one," Juszczyk shared. "We had to put a stop to the losing. And to put us in first place in our division, that's everything. All our goals are in front of us."
After the short week, the 49ers now have a bit of extra time to rest and recover. On Monday, they'll turn their focus to a highly anticipated Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, a game that will undoubtedly serve as a tough test as they look to build momentum.
For now, the team is savoring this win over a division rival.
"This is something we can build from, get healthy with this little extra week, get two [more] wins before the bye, and go on our run."
With the victory, the 49ers improved to 3-3 and are back in the mix in the NFC West. The Week 7 matchup against the Chiefs will take place on Sunday, October 20, at Levi's Stadium—a game that will bring its own intensity as the 49ers look to stay on track for the rest of the season.
