SANTA CLARA http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-zach-zenner-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Richard Sherman wasn’t in a celebratory mood after his first win with the San Francisco 49ers.That’s what allowing two fourth-quarter touchdowns and needing a favorable call by the officials just to avoid blowing a 17-point lead will do.“A win’s a win but it feels like a loss,” Sherman said following San Francisco’s 30-27 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. “We played like crap down the stretch. We have to execute down the stretch and play better. It’s a good lesson for a young team that we needed. It’s a humbling lesson. Thank goodness we got a win out of it.”The 49ers (1-1) broke out to a 30-13 lead behind two touchdown passes from Jimmy Garoppolo and a 66-yard TD run by Matt Breida only to see most of it evaporate on a pair of TD passes by Matthew Stafford in the fourth quarter for the Lions (0-2).That’s when the biggest play happened with San Francisco facing a third-and-2 near midfield. Garoppolo threw a quick out to Breida, but Tracy Walker stepped in front and intercepted the pass, returning it to the San Francisco 7.Quandre Diggs was called for holding George Kittle on the other side of the field, giving the 49ers a reprieve.“I didn’t see it, but it doesn’t matter,” Detroit coach Matt Patricia said. “That’s the way the game is being called all the way across the board. We just can’t do it, make plays and then the penalties.”The 49ers managed to run off more time and Stafford didn’t get the ball back until he had 1:08 to go and the ball at his own 16. Detroit moved the ball to the 39 before three straight incompletions led to a turnover on downs.But a 49ers team that was happy to get any kind of win last year after an 0-9 start was far from satisfied.“It’s a different mindset than last year Womens Golden Tate III Jersey ,” Garoppolo said. “Last year if we got a win, we were happy about it. Now, you kind of progress as a team. I think our guys are growing and learning like that. When you have a chance like we had to blow them out and take advantage of that stuff, we didn’t. It’s just little things like that we need to clean up.”Here are some other takeaways from the game:UNDER PRESSUREThe Lions managed to put heavy pressure on Garoppolo even though top pass rusher Ezekiel Ansah missed the game with a shoulder injury. Detroit finished with six sacks, including two apiece from Jarrad Davis and Devon Kennard. Three of the sacks came in the red zone, forcing San Francisco twice to settle for field goals.“I’ve got to get the ball out faster,” Garoppolo said. “Help those guys out, make it easy Damon Harrison Jersey , get our offense in to more of a rhythm and just take what they’re giving me type of thing.”BREIDA’S DAYThe 49ers faced questions at running back when Jerick McKinnon went down with a season-ending knee injury a week before the start of the season. Breida showed he can handle some of that load by rushing for 138 yards on 11 carries and catching three passes for 21 yards. His TD run was San Francisco’s longest since Colin Kaepernick had a 90-yarder against the Chargers on Dec. 20, 2014.“You have to make the most of your opportunities,” Breida said.EJECTIONDetroit running back LeGarrette Blount was ejected in the third quarter. Blount took exception to Elijah Lee pushing Stafford as he stepped out of bounds. Blount was standing on the sideline right in front of the play and went on the field and pushed Lee. Blount was assessed a personal foul and ejected.“He knows better,” Patricia said. “He knows that he can’t do that.”REPEAT RETURNSFor the second straight week, the Lions allowed a long return in the kicking game. D.J. Reed’s 90-yard kickoff return to start the second half set up San Francisco’s second TD of the game. Last week, Andre Roberts scored on a 78-yard punt return for the Jets. This week, several Lions players offered charitable contributions to Detroit and the surrounding area."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Detroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions NotesDetroit Lions AnalysisDetroit Lions TransactionsDetroit Lions Game RecapsDetroit Lions NotesNotes: Detroit Lions players spend week giving back to communityNew,29commentsThis week White Austin Bryant Jersey , several Lions players offered charitable contributions to Detroit and the surrounding area. EDTShareTweetShareShareNotes: Detroit Lions players spend week giving back to communityKyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsWith several Detroit Lions in town for voluntary workouts, some have decided to use that opportunity to give back to the local community. This week, in particular, seemed to be a popular one for players to flex their benevolent muscle.First, Sam Martin, Michael Roberts, Andre Chachere, and Jerome Cunningham visited the Macomb Special Olympics at Macomb Community College on Wednesday to show their support and give their encouragement. DetroitLions.com has a video of the event. Additionally http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-theo-riddick-jersey , the Detroit Lions and Kroger sponsored an event that distributed 700 bags of food to the Fisher Magnet Academy, a public school in Detroit. Lions veteran Lomas Brown, as well as several Lions cheerleaders and Roary, attended the event, teaching students the qualities it takes to be a leader. They also provided two teachers with $5,000 gift cards to help keep the school stocked with all the necessities for the kids. Finally, a big shoutout goes to Lions linebacker Devon Kennard. Will Burchfield of 971theticket.com has a great story about how Kennard established $10,000 in scholarships for the Midnight Golf Program Dwayne Washington Jersey White , an after-school program to help serve underprivileged students. This week, after days of reading through essays and even reviewing some of the applicants’ grades, Kennard awarded two scholarships in person. That sort of personal touch is the kind of above-and-beyond effort we’ve seen out of Kennard dating back to his days in New York. Darius Slay is going to miss Ezekiel Ansah, who is expected to sign with the Seahawks: If you’re looking for more information on the Lions’ UDFA class, the Detroit Free Press has some contract details for a handful of the Lions’ 13 signings. Congrats to Herman Moore for being named the 2019 Alumnus of the Year: Nate Atkins of MLive tries to nail down the three strongest and weakest positions on the Lions’ current roster. Lions sixth-round rookie Ty Johnson was a big-play machine in college, posting an almost-historic 7.6 yards per attempt in Maryland: T.J. Hockenson is already signed to his rookie deal, but less than half of first-round picks had come to an agreement by Friday morning:
