Match recap: 49ers vs. Jaguars (34-3)

Sport by : (PRESSBEE) -

 They started slowly and never got faster.Against this opponent, that was trouble.

49ers in front of 69,271 at EverBank Stadium Sunday afternoon.

The win snaps a three-game losing streak the 49ers took into their midseason bye that sparked questions about their championship viability. On Sunday, they looked very much like the Super Bowl contender that started 5-0 while smothering one of the league’s hottest teams.

Jaguars team that entered riding a five-game win streak.

Deebo Samuel returned from a three-game absence and added a 23-yard scoring run for the 49ers (6-3), who stopped Jacksonville’s five-game winning streak and reestablished themselves as a favorite in the NFC.

Nick Bosa was a menace all afternoon, and newly acquired defensive end Chase Young got in on one of the sacks.

“Having him is such a big threat,” Bosa said. “I think we played off of each other well.”

The Jaguars (6-3), meanwhile, embarrassed themselves at every turn and looked nothing like a legit playoff contender. They had a five-possession stretch in which they fumbled, kicked a field goal, threw an interception, fumbled and threw another interception. Lawrence was responsible for three of the team’s four turnovers.

The Jaguars did not force a turnover after entering the game leading the NFL in the category with 18. They are 0-2 this season when not forcing a turnover, and Oluokun registered the team's two sacks.

"That's not the type of football team that we want to be right there, so let's start fighting," Oluokun said. "Let's start working to be better. We have a good opponent coming in next week (the Tennessee Titans of the AFC South). I'm ready to work."
