The San Francisco 49ers suffered a crushing loss on Sunday, falling to the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 29-22 and dropping out of first place in the NFC West in the process.

Afterward, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said that he felt it was the little things that cost the 49ers the game.

“I wouldn’t say it was one specific thing,” Garoppolo said, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. “I think it was just things going wrong, us not making plays when we needed to, just little things like that here and there that throughout the course of a game, they add up. Just little mistakes that we can’t make.”

San Francisco clinched a playoff berth even in defeat, but the Niners may have cost themselves a first-round bye, and Garoppolo thinks that a lack of energy overall was a big reason for the setback.

“I think we could’ve had more juice in the beginning, but we really can’t rely on just having so much energy,” Garoppolo said. “We have to go execute at the end of the day. When your number gets called, whatever it is, you have to execute your job and I think it’s just the little details like that. Obviously, having the energy and all that comes along with it, but we’ve got to just execute better.”

Garoppolo put forth a so-so performance against the Falcons, completing 22 of his 34 throws for 200 yards and a touchdown.

The 49ers got off to an 8-0 start on the season, but since then, they have struggled, as they have gone just 3-3 over their last six games. They will host the Los Angeles Rams next weekend.
