"The 49ers (6-3) have not lost back-to-back games all season, and their energy and efficiency here was polar opposite from last game's 26-15 loss at Houston. After playing four of their past five games on the road, the 49ers return to Levi's Stadium next Sunday to host the Los Angeles Rams in an NFC West showdown. But first, the NFL trade deadline is 1p.m. Tuesday and the 49ers may want to add toward a seemingly inevitable playoff push."
"On the bright side, Mac Jones set an upbeat tone from the outset by completing all 14 of his first-half passes, two of which went for touchdowns to Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings en route to a 17-7 halftime lead. Fourth-quarter touchdown runs by Brian Robinson (on the drive starting with Kittle's dance) and by Christian McCaffrey (4 minutes remaining) put the 49ers over the 30-point threshold for the first time this season, and those proved valuableinsurance points."
The San Francisco 49ers defeated the New York Giants 34-24, improving to 6-3 and avoiding consecutive losses. Mac Jones completed all 14 of his first-half passes, including touchdown throws to Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings, to build a 17-7 halftime lead. Fourth-quarter touchdown runs by Brian Robinson and Christian McCaffrey pushed the 49ers past 30 points for the first time this season. Rookie defensive end Mykel Williams sustained a right lower-leg injury late and was taken to the sideline tent for examination. The Giants scored two late touchdowns from rookie Jaxson Dart. The team returns home to face the Los Angeles Rams with the NFL trade deadline imminent.
