Offensively, they struggled: Garoppolo was 18/27 for 166 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. They seemed to have a rushing-by-committee approach, ultimately tallying 98 yards on 32 carries. George Kittle (?) was their leading receiver, with 8 catches on 10 targets for 54 yards. A quick look at the box score shows that they don't have a lot of big name players.

Defensively they created 4 turnovers - 3 INTs and 1 fumble recovery - despite being historically bad at takeaways last season (only 7 all year). They held Jameis Winston in check (big whoop) but did allow 121 rushing yards on 26 carries. They did turn two of the INTs into return TDs, and they had 3 sacks on the day.

Robbie Gould is their kicker and went 3/4 on the day.

They look to have a good D, and they have that good TE. 
Still, it's not as hard as At Seattle.  Not an easy win. No such thing for rebuilding last place team, but not as hard as At Seattle.  Unless the Bengals Fans decide to be Boo Birds and are worse than an away game, which has happened.
