Deommodore Lenoir each had 4 tackles.<\/p>\n<p>Leonard Floyd, Tashaun Gipson Sr., Jordan Elliott, Renardo Green, &amp; Evan Anderson each had 3 tackles.<\/p>\n<p>The team had no sacks, not being able to get to Matthew Stafford once, while the team had 1 TFL, by Hufanga.<\/p>\n<p>PBU wise, the 49ers had 5, 2 for Lenoir, and 1 each for Ward, Gipson, &amp; Warner.<\/p>\n<p>Special teams wise, well that&#8217;s what the whole game was, with Jake Moody only getting 2 field goal attempts, nailing from 53-yards, &amp; 47-yards, while Pat O&#8217;Donnell had a whopping 7 punts for 316-yards, while Jacob Cowing had 5 punt returns for 51 punt return yards, and Samuel had 2 kick returns for 72 kick return yards.<\/p>\n<p>This game was a mess, both teams&#8217; offenses couldn&#8217;t do anything, not until Greenlaw went out of the game, which really helped the Rams get those 2 extra field goals, but this is crushing defeat, as the 49ers fall to 6-8, next up is a visit to the Miami Dolphins next Sunday, at 1:25pm pacific\/4:25pm eastern, in what will be a MUST win game, but the likelihood of the 49ers making the playoffs seem to be slim to none, and with that said, I thank you for reading, and follow me on X\/Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.x.com\/49erscap\"><strong>@49erscap<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>&amp;
