Maiocco’s 49ers Report Card: Team grades in rebound win over Patriots originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
SANTA CLARA — Defensive end Nick Bosa said if he did not know any better, he would have thought the building was burning down.
After two consecutive losses, the 49ers needed to get back on the winning track following back-to-back poor performances.
“We’ve lost some guys, but I haven’t lost confidence in this group one bit,” Bosa said. “So I think we’re going to be just fine.”
The 49ers were just fine Sunday in a 30-13 victory over the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium.

Grade: B-plus
Passing offense
Purdy did not have one of his more sharp performances, but he still made plenty of plays with downfield throws.
Jauan Jennings led the team in receiving yards with three catches for 88 yards. Samuel had three receptions for 58 yards. His 53-yard catch was a big play for the 49ers early in the second half.
George Kittle made a remarkable 12-yard catch against triple coverage for a touchdown to give the 49ers a 20-0 lead in the second quarter. He finished with four catches for 45 yards.
The offensive line provided outstanding pass protection. Purdy was sacked one time, but that came on a play that lasted nearly 10 seconds.
Purdy completed 15 of 27 pass attempts for 288 yards with one touchdown and…
