49ers 34, Jaguars 3
Q. Did you do some lobbying to get back out there?
CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY: Yeah, I suck. Everyone else on the team scored except for me.
No, that means a lot to me for them to keep me in at the end of the game there and try to get me that record, but hey, I'll take a huge win.
Q. How bad did you guys need this win today?
CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY: Just as bad as every other week, but definitely this one coming off of three losses.
I think what I liked is it wasn't perfect, but we just stayed with it. We kept going, kept going, and defense came up huge with a bunch of turnovers, and offensively we've got a lot of things that we can still get better at, which is exciting.
I think we learned our lesson these last three weeks of just -- we have to play good ball every week. We have to execute. We have to minimize mistakes and go out there and do what we know how to do.
Q. What does Deebo Samuel bring to the offense that we can't quantify?
CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY: Yeah, I really don't think you can quantify it. It's a different energy, a different burst. Just having him on the field, I'm not a D-coordinator and go play defense, but he's somebody you have to focus on, and then what he can do when the ball is in his hands whether it's in the receiving game or the run game is special.
Q. It did feel like there was more lanes to run, bigger holes to --
CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY: I thought the O-line did a great job all day. That's a really good defense. That's a good rush defense, too, and they have the numbers to show it. I thought our guys did a great job, and it was good having 71 back out there, but I thought all five of those guys, the tight ends, Juice, they did a hell of a job sticking with it, sticking with the run game, getting some of those gritty yards, and then in the second half start to pop some of them.
Q. What were your impressions of how Brock played?
CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY: Awesome. Brock played awesome. He did what he knows how to do, and that's play well, play beyond the Xs and Os, and I thought he did great.
Q. You say you learned your lessons the last couple weeks. The bye week, was that well situated for you to do some reflection?
CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY: Definitely. The bye week was huge. I think everybody needed a little mental, emotional and physical rest.
Q. Did you wish Juice could have just gone down to the 1 --
CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY: Yeah, Juice really wanted me to score, unless he could score. I'm so happy. Anytime Juice can score, I'm probably the second most excited guy on the field other than him.
