Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:14:10 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here is what came out of the 49ers’ postgame press conferences following their 34-3 win Sunday over the Jaguars:HEAD COACH KYLE SHANAHANNo injuries right now. I’m sure there will be some tomorrow, but there’s nothing right now.Q: What impressed you the most?Shanahan: Just how we overcame a bunch of stuff. I didn’t think we played perfect ball by any means, which you never do. I was just happy that the mistakes we did make, we always overcame. I was real disappointed getting those first two turnovers and not scoring on either of them, having to punt. Then when we get the third turnover, we actually score ourselves on defense but we have to call it back, and that was strategic so we could let the offense do it. Finally, we were able to do one, and being able to get that fourth one was cool. It was playing complementary football. Took us a while a little bit back and forth, but I thought once we were playing well on both sides, that...

At the end, thank God it went in, otherwise I would’ve got more insults than I could even imagine,” Dimarco said. “It is certainly one of my best goals.”Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer put his hands on his head in disbelief at the first-half goal, while coach Simone Inzaghi turned round and beamed broadly at his bench.Frosinone goalkeeper — and lifelong Inter fan — Stefano Turati backpedaled furiously but was left sprawling on his ba...
