SF 49ers winners, losers from shocking win over Cardinals
By Peter Panacy
Winner: SF 49ers Running Back Jeff Wilson Jr.
With No. 1 running back Raheem Mostert out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury, all ground hopes hinged on another runner, Jeff Wilson.
The high hope was for Wilson to come close to replicating the game-takeover-type performance he enjoyed way back in Week 7 against the New England Patriots where he recorded a whopping 112 rush yards and three touchdowns in that victory.
Instead, Wilson did even more, amassing a huge 183 rush yards on 22 attempts for a whopping 8.3 yards per carry.
Additionally, Wilson found the end zone on a 21-yard touchdown reception to kick off the scoring for San Francisco.
Needless to say, Wilson was a massive factor for the SF 49ers offense, and his breakout performance makes the loss of Mostert a little easier to bear.
