Hufanga’s pick-six vs. Stafford continues weird 49ers trend originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Talanoa Hufanga had a Monday night to remember.
In the 49ers’ 24-9 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night, Hufanga intercepted a pass from Matthew Stafford and returned it 52 yards to the house for his first career pick-six.
That put the game away, securing San Francisco’s second win of the season. It also continued an odd trend from the 49ers’ defense.
Per Josh Dubow of The Associated Press, the 49ers’ last five interceptions returned for scores have come against Stafford or Jared Goff, his predecessor in Los Angeles now with the Detroit Lions.
