John Lynch impressed with 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo’s “nearly flawless” performance vs. Rams

Jimmy Garoppolo turned in an impressive performance against the Los Angeles Rams. Some would argue that it was his most efficient outing in a long time. It was a divisional matchup, and a loss would have put the San Francisco 49ers two games below .500.

The Niners are 3-0 against NFC West opponents, with two games against the Arizona Cardinals and one against the division-leading Seattle Seahawks remaining.

Garoppolo completed 84 percent of his passes for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and a passer rating of 132.5 against the Rams. He earned his highest Pro Football Focus grade (75.6) of the season. The quarterback’s highest (87.5) came in Week 4, also against the Rams.

“Jimmy, we all know he’s got the capability to deliver it,” Lynch told Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. “He played nearly flawless [against the Rams], and it was awesome to watch.”
