Mostert's 146 rushing yards are the most by a 49ers player since Carlos Hyde had 193 against the New York Jets on December 11, 2016. Still, it wasn't quite enough to satisfy a competitor like Mostert, who joined KNBR on Wednesday morning, because it didn't result in a victory.
"I actually asked myself this question," Mostert said on the "Murph and Mac" show. "Was it good enough to help the team? There was a couple of things that I could have done a little bit better, put the team in a better position to even kick a field goal.
"I had a 3rd-and-4, and I ran an outside zone to the right, and I only got three yards out of it. That's what ultimately made it a 4th-and-1. If I would have just got upfield and read the defense a little bit better, then I probably would have got that first down, and we would have been in a better position.
"I try to critique myself, and play my game, and see how I can help the team ultimately try to win."
Mostert went on to give a lot of credit to his offensive line, the tight ends, and the receivers for helping in the blocking and allowing him to achieve career numbers. The performance earned Mostert a FedEx Ground Player of the Week nomination.
