After splitting their first two games of their 2025 preseason schedule, the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Los Angeles Chargers and old friend Jim Harbaugh at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Saturday for a finale that ended in a 30-23 victory for Kyle Shanahan’s team.
With more starters getting playing time against the Denver Broncos the week before, most of San Francisco’s starters were on the sideline against Los Angeles, besides a few players who have been battling injuries or will miss the start of the season due to suspension.
