San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo took a hit to his surgically repaired left knee during his team’s 13–0 victory over the Saints on Sunday, and the veteran later questioned the hit that left his knee sore.
“Nah, I was staying in the game,” Garoppolo said after the game when asked whether he thought about exiting the contest. “I knew what type of game it was. That’s what it was all day. That wasn’t the only hit that was questionable like that. Throughout the whole game, it was like that, but that’s football.”
The 49ers leaned on their defense and did just enough offensively to capture the victory and improve to 7–4 on the year.
