Philadelphia at San Francisco: 3 Thing We Learned

After a three game losing streak to The Cardinals, Bears and Cowboys, the 49ers were finally able to pull out a win,their first in the new Levi Stadium. The following three reasons contribute to why they were finally able to end their losing streak.

1. Frank Gore, back to his old self:

During one of the moments of the game where we wondered if Kaepernick could get back on balance, he throws across his body, down the feild to Gore who stood open nearly twenty yards away. Miraculously Gore is able to make the catch and run for a career-best 55 yard touchdown. As seen in games past, San Francisco is at their best when Gore is able to make plays like that one.

2. Phil Dawson finds the hole:

Another huge factor to the Niners sucess tonight came from twelve points made by Phil Dawson. One of the feild goals, kicked from over forty yards proved to be worthy of the slow motion replay. Dawson is able to find a hole between Eagles defenders, just wide enough for the football to pass through to make it through the goal posts. Dawson, a true veteran kicker is always essential to the 49ers success.

3. The half-time pep talk:

Up until this game, the 49ers had failed to score a touchdown in the second half. Who knows what Coach Harbaugh said during half-time, but something was said to boost the Niners confidence to keep on fighting for the win even though they trailed 21-13 at the half. Congratualtions to Gore, Stevie Johnson, and Kaepernick for showing the 49ers that they can still get things done in the second half.

We'll have to wait and see if the Niners can keep this momentum as they face Alex Smith and The Cheifs next Sunday.
