"Admittedly, the Giants are terrible, coming in with the worst rushing defense in the league. But the 49ers were able to do what you expect them to do, with Christian McCaffrey running for 106 yards (plus getting another 67 yards receiving), and resurgent journeyman backup quarterback Mac Jones putting up a sterling quarterback rating of 135.2. Though Mac Jones also put up with a giant nosebleed on national television, courtesy the Giants' defensive line."
"He would plug it up and still drive the 49ers to a field goal moments later just before halftime. The 49ers and Giants traded TDs on their first two drives, and for the extremely large number of 49ers fans in a attendance, the first quarter seemed like this game might be a dogfight. But the Niners broke away and never looked back, once Jones threw this early second quarter touchdown pass to the orange-haired Jauan Jennings (who is playing with five broken ribs!)."
Three thousand miles away in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a large contingent of San Francisco 49ers fans watched a 34-24 win over the New York Giants. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 106 yards and added 67 receiving yards. Backup quarterback Mac Jones delivered an excellent performance, completing 14 of 14 in the first half for 143 yards, two touchdowns and a 148.8 passer rating, and finished with a 135.2 quarterback rating despite suffering a nosebleed. Jauan Jennings caught a second-quarter touchdown while playing with five broken ribs. The victory matched the team's six wins from last season by early November.
