What happened: The second-quarter carry cut an early 14-3 deficit to 14-10. It followed a 33-yard field goal, completing a 10-point response after a 14-0 start.

Why it matters: A second red-zone conversion gives Frank Gore Jr. another result before final roster decisions. Consecutive scoring games strengthen his case for a role entering the regular season.

By the numbers: His Aug. 15 score came from 3 yards with 4:33 left and extended the margin to 29-7.

What to watch: Final roster decisions follow the end of the preseason schedule.
