49ERS GRIND OUT DEFENSIVE BATTLE OVER RAIDERS

Look, the 49ers won ugly and that's exactly how you win football games—D.Hall put up 260 yards for the Raiders, but San Francisco's defense got after him seven times and forced the kind of stagnant offense that wins 10-20 games. The 49ers' 272 total yards ain't pretty on the stat sheet, but they took care of the football, moved the chains when it mattered (2/4 red zone), and made the Raiders earn every yard on a day when football looked like a chess match instead of a highlight reel.
