On one hand, it should come as no surprise that the 49erson the strength of 285 rushing yards on 42 attempts against the Packers in the , with San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo having little impact on the result.

On the other hand, in a season when leaguewide numbers for pa ser rating, completion percentage, total completions and touchdown pa ses all ranked in the top five for highest in a single season in NFL history, it's absurd that the 49erswere able to deliver a blowout in the title game while their Brad Ziegler Jersey QB completed just six pa ses.

SUPER BOWL ODDS:

The box score attached to San Francisco's37-20 win on Sunday says Garoppolo went 6-of-8 pa sing for 77 yards, anaverage of 9.6 yards per attempt and a pa ser Wei-Yin Chen Jersey rating of 104.7. He technically attempted 11 pa ses, but three were negated by defensive penalties.

"I think I threw more (in warmups)," Garoppolo after the game.

The 49ers are now one of just three teams that have finished a playoff game with 10 pa s attempts or fewer in the Super Bowl era although the 1971 and 1973 Dolphins are hardly representatives of the pa sing era in which these 49ers play.

Including Sunday's total, Garoppolo has thrown for 208 yards in two playoff games this year. Contrast that with his QB counterpart in Super Bowl 54; Patrick Mahomes has thrown for in the Chiefs' wins over the Texans and Titans.

Below are all 11 throws Garoppolo made Sunday against the Packers, including the three that were negated by penalties.

They illustrate just how easily the QB cruised to the Super Bowl while running back Raheem Mostertand San Francisco's rushing attack terrorized Green Bay's overwhelmed defense all night.

Some notable nuggets related to Garoppolo'spa sing performance:

He didn't attempt a pa s in the entire third quarter (though the 49ers had only one po se sion in the third) and attempted just three pa ses in the fourth quarter. Two were completed; the lone incompletion was negated by defensive pa s interference.

Between the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the fourth, he went 24 game minutes without attempting a pa s.

"If it's Blank Jersey working, you stay with it," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said of the run-heavy approach Sunday. "Our guys were running so hard. Our line coming off the ball, our backs. All 11 of our guys how they've been all year. The guys fought hard as heck. We're going to put it all in their hands."

Chances are, San Francisco will need more from Garoppolo in the Super Bowl, especially if Mahomes continues his hot streak. The Kansas City QB just tiedPro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner Bryan Holaday Jersey (11) for the most TD pa ses through a player's first four career playoff games in NFL history. He did that a week after becoming the first player with at least 300 pa sing yards, five touchdown pa ses and 50 rushing yards in a single NFL postseason game.

Of course, the 49ers could not care le s how many pa ses Garoppolo attempts or completes. They're 19-5 in his 24 starts since 2017, not including what's now a 2-0 record in the playoffs.
