Hard-Fought Win for Short-Handed 49ers
It was a hard-fought triumph for the 49ers, who were without a host of players through health issues, including quarterback Brock Purdy and pass catchers Jauan Jennings and Pearsall
Purdy's replacement, Jones, overcame a leg issue and arm and leg cramps, completing 33 of 49 attempts for 342 yards and a pair of scores
"It came down to who was going to be the toughest team, and I believe we were," Jones said

The San Francisco, who experienced their initial loss of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars recently, improve to 4-1 and command the division
