More on 49ers vs. Patriots

After two tough losses on the road, the 49ers respond with a resounding win at home, never in doubt against the Patriots Sunday afternoon.

The San Francisco 49ers leave Week 4 back in the win column, handling the New England Patriots, 30-13. While the contest was projected to be victory for the home team, no one knew for sure after Week 3’s collapse to the Rams on the road. It wasn’t pretty throughout the game, but the Red & Gold got it done, with a large help going to the defensive unit.
