San Francisco had five takeaways in the second half for the first time in 20 years. The team had managed only seven in its first seven games, so the burst flipped its season-long turnover differential from negative to positive. Fred Warner forced one fumble and recovered another.

The young players are driving it, too. Tight end George Kittle said the veterans' best players will take them far, "but we need young guys to step up."
