Garoppolo had 4 TDs and 317 yards

On TV they said the last time a 49'ers QB had 4 TDs and over 300 yards was Jeff Garcia in 2000.

Glancing at the Wikipedia list of starting QB's for the Niners, I had forgotten that Steve Stenstrom had three starts in 1999.

In the postgame, Richard Sherman owned up to not playing well including getting juked on an 88-yard pass play that let the Cardinals back into the game with five minutes left.

The ending was Stanford-esqe: take a two-score lead into the fourth quarter and take your foot off the gas to win in a nail-biter.  The only difference seemed to be that the Niners used a short passing game to burn the clock instead of running up the middle.
