SF 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 The SF 49ers tight end and third stringer Jake Tonges’ fourth quarter game winning catch set the tone for what’s to come for the 49ers season?

#2 Despite the win the 49ers waived kicker Jake Moody and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday’s game “Obviously, I was disappointed we missed two field goals,” Shanahan said. “Missed one, which is a big miss … the next one, (Julian) Love made a hell of a move … We got to clean up the operation. That one wasn’t Jake, that’s the whole operation. We got to do better.”

#3 Tight End George Kittle is out with a hamstring for a few weeks and quarterback Brock Purdy has a toe and shoulder injury. Shanahan said he was more concerned with the Purdy toe injury than the shoulder injury. Purdy could be possibly shelfed for the game in New Orleans Sunday.
