The Pats had 4 turnovers, 2 in each half. The score was 17-3 at halftime. 

The 49ers also had missteps as well. INT in the end zone, fumble at the 5 yard line, mishandled snap on 4th and 1 (pretty much a turnover)... Not to mention the other fumbled snaps...

The defense started playing more conservatively during the pats run, using a lot of zone defense. Their man defense worked much better as it stifled them in the first half and they didn't get back into it until the end.

49ers did well running the ball though. 180yds total, even more than their 162yd/gm avg. 

Yea my bad your right. Pats have been excellent against the run this season but the 49ers were getting at least 5 yards every run which killed the Pats.

While the 49ers did have a fumble and interception they were far less costly because they were deep in Patriots territory. If i remember correctly every single turnover we had was on the Pats side of the field except for the first interception.
