"I thought our energy was fine. I think rhythm was tough, probably with the four turnovers, and I think we had one punt in each half. It's tough to overcome those four turnovers, and then you give up a punt return for a touchdown, and then we didn't get any. (But) still had a chance to win that, had the ball with two and a half minutes left, down five, I believe, around the 50 yard-line. But then had another turnover."
"The 49ers got Brock Purdy back after a two-week absence, but turnovers and missed opportunities were too much to overcome in losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Levi's Stadium. Now the 49ers are 3-1 and headed to Los Angeles on a short week for Thursday night's showdown against the Rams, who also are 3-1 after rallying past the Colts on Sunday."
Brock Purdy returned after a two-week absence and passed for 309 yards and two touchdowns but completed 22 of 38 attempts with two interceptions and one fumble. Christian McCaffrey caught six passes for 92 yards and rushed 17 times for 49 yards. Rickey Pearsall left after aggravating a knee injury. Star defensive end Nick Bosa missed the game with a knee injury. The 49ers fell to 3-1 and face the Rams on a short week in Los Angeles. Coach Kyle Shanahan cited four turnovers, a punt return touchdown allowed, and offensive inconsistency as key reasons for the loss.
