Christian McCaffrey's double-score performance propelled the San Francisco 49ers to a decisive 34-24 victory over their NFC East rivals, the New York Giants. The talented running back's impressive outing saw him rack up 173 scrimmage yards - 106 on the ground and 67 through the air - as Mac Jones led his team to a much-needed win.
Jones, who bounced back from an early fumble, threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns, with McCaffrey scoring both scores. The 49ers' offense found its footing after a sluggish performance last week, which saw them run just ten times on the ground. Instead, they pounded away at the Giants with 39 carries, yielding a significant 159 yards.
Brian Robinson Jr.'s 18-yard touchdown was a telling moment in the game, as it marked a turning point for the 49ers offense. The team's running backs continued to excel, with Robinson averaging 10.6 yards per carry - a testament to their growing chemistry and effectiveness.
The 49ers defense also made significant strides, after struggling earlier in the season. The pass rush finally began to get going, with Clelin Ferrell and Sam Okuayinonu each registering sacks against Jaxson Dart's late-game drives. The Giants offense was unable to mount a serious challenge, despite having some promising moments.
The loss leaves the Giants reeling, having now lost three consecutive games - all of which have seen them concede at least 33 points. For their part, the 49ers are back in contention for first place in the NFC West, thanks to this much-needed win.
As for injuries, Mykel Williams limped off with four minutes left on the clock, while Kyle Shanahan's team was also without starting quarterback Brock Purdy due to injury. The Giants suffered several key players, including John Michael Schmitz and Darius Muasau, who all left games in the third quarter or second quarter.
The 49ers are now set to host the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday, while their division rivals head to Soldier Field to face the Bears.

The 49ers finally got their act together on offense and it was a beautiful thing 
. McCaffrey's double-score performance is a huge morale booster for the team and I'm loving how the offense is starting to click. The Giants are getting embarrassed, 3 losses in a row with over 33 points conceded... that's not sustainable 
. And can we talk about the defense? They're finally showing some signs of life and it's all thanks to those pass rushers Ferrell and Okuayinonu 
. The 49ers are now in a good position to take over the NFC West, but they need to stay focused and avoid injuries 
. Bring on the Rams next week!
and it's like he just took over the whole field. I'm hyped for the 49ers now, they're definitely back in contention for that first place spot in the NFC West 
. Jones is looking really good after that early fumble too, gotta give him credit for bouncing back. The Giants are taking a big hit right now though, losing 3 straight games like that's just not cool 
. And I'm curious to see how they bounce back from this one, they need some wins ASAP. The 49ers defense is looking way better than expected too, that pass rush was on point 
. Can't wait for the Rams game next week, it should be a wild ride 
like seriously how many injuries can one team get? 
and their QB situation is a mess, gotta give it to the 49ers though, McCaffrey's outburst was insane! 
That Brian Robinson Jr run was like the turning point in the game 
but seriously, how hard can it be to stop a running back? 
and mac jones is looking good too 
his comeback from that early fumble was insane 
anyway, 49ers are back on track and i think they got this nfc west thing down pat 
! The 49ers' offense was so much more efficient this time around, I'm loving the new vibe 
!
. How about they focus on their next game against the Bears? 
, getting some crucial sacks and shutting down the Giants' offense.
. The 49ers are definitely back in contention now, and I'm loving their chances of taking down the Rams next week 
. Their O-line was solid too, not lettin' no Giant rusher get to their QB all game long 
!
McCaffrey's double-score was insane and i love how jones bounced back after that fumble. Ferrell and Okuayinonu were on fire too, finally getting that pass rush going 
The way they pounded away at Giants was so satisfying! 
. Definitely got to see how this plays out for both teams next week tho! 
Los Angeles Rams vs 49ers vs Bears is gonna be EPIC!!!
