W 26-23 at LA · Oct 2, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
49ers fans toasting a skeleton-crew division win with M.Jones as the unlikely folk hero.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Collins recovering K.Williams' fumble at the SF 1 in the final two minutes saved a season's worth of grief, and E.Pineiro's 59-yarder somehow wasn't even the decisive kick. With Purdy, Kittle, Pearsall, Bosa, and Jennings all unavailable, a Mac Jones-led skeleton crew walked out of LA with a win nobody outside the building expected. Enjoy it, but the injury list isn't getting shorter — banking road wins like this one matters.
