A 49ers win Monday would've put the NFL's only undefeated team up three games on Seattle in the lo s column with seven weeks left. Their NFC West crown would've been considered close to sewn up.

Clowney wreacked havoc on the 49ers all night. He only had one sack, but also scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery and forced a fumble on his own. His best stat, though, was his 10 quarterback pre sures, the second-most from any player in a game this year (per ESPN).
