The San Francisco 49ers season has been a wild roller-coaster ride through nine games.<\/p>\n

First came the dominant 5-0 start in which the offense scored 30-plus points every week while the defense allowed 13.6 points per contest. Then there was the three-game losing skid, wherein Brock Purdy\u00a0turned the ball over, the Niners scored exactly 17 points in every loss, and the defense got scorched for long stretches.<\/p>\n

The Niners got back on track Sunday, blowing out Jacksonville on the road, 34-3, coming off their bye week. Star defensive tackle Javon Hargrave admitted on KNBR’s “Murph & Mac” show that San Francisco let their guard down after a hot start to the season, which led to the losing streak.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, it’s hard not to,” Hargrave said on Tuesday, via NBC Sports Bay Area. “Everybody’s got to learn from it. Just not reading too much, not looking at too much. They say it’s like a little poison [when] everybody’s telling you how good you are. And then you can’t read and hear when everybody’s telling you how bad you are.<\/p>\n

“Just keeping them blinders on, staying focused and just trying to grow every week.”<\/p>\n
