SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The 49ers' long-standing mantra of "I Got Your Back" is now being incorporated into the NFL's playoff advertising. It's also being put to use by 49ers players in defending Jimmy Garoppolo.
Defensive end Nick Bosa and tight end George Kittle spoke up after Saturday night's win in Green Bay to say Garoppolo has unfairly received too much, well, criticism, to put in in polite terms.
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel fired off an 8:14 a.m. Tweet declaring: "Kraxy how y'all have so much to say about our quarterback ... Check His Win Percentage ... Okay I'll Wait. Pure Winner @JimmyG_10"
