The San Francisco 49ers staged a convincing comeback, outmaneuvering the New York Giants 34-24 in East Rutherford on Sunday. Christian McCaffrey was instrumental in his team's victory, hauling in a touchdown pass from Mac Jones and churning out 106 rushing yards on 28 carries.
McCaffrey's impressive performance was just one facet of the 49ers' dominant display, which saw them run the ball 39 times for 159 yards. Brian Robinson Jr.'s 18-yard touchdown helped seal the win, sending a large chunk of the Giants crowd packing.
Jones rebounded from a fumble earlier in the game to complete 19 of 24 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns, including one to McCaffrey and another to Jauan Jennings. The 49ers' offense was too much for the Giants' defense to handle, which struggled to contain Robinson's powerful running.
The 49ers' victory helped them get back on track after a disappointing loss at Houston last week, during which they were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy for the fifth consecutive game. Robinson, who had previously torched the Giants with Washington, showed why he was so effective – he averaged 10.6 yards per carry.
On defense, the 49ers bounced back from allowing a touchdown on their own opening drive, thanks to a strong pass rush that saw Clelin Ferrell and Sam Okuayinonu sack Jaxson Dart twice. The Giants' offense, meanwhile, struggled with drops by key players and defensive miscues that ultimately cost them the game.
The 49ers remain in contention for first place in the NFC West after avoiding what would have been their first back-to-back losses of the season. They host the Los Angeles Rams next week, while the Giants travel to Chicago to face the Bears.

! they just absolutely destroyed the giants and it was like a well-oiled machine out there 
. mac jones is playing some crazy ball and christian mccaffrey is literally unstoppable 
. i mean, who else can just catch a touchdown pass from their QB and then go run for 106 yards in the same game? 
. and that defense? 
it's like they're on another level right now.
. they could've easily folded under pressure, but instead they came out swinging 
. and that's what i love about football - the ups and downs, the highs and lows 
. it's like a rollercoaster ride of emotions, but in the end, it all pays off when you're standing on top with a win 
.
. they'll need to keep up the momentum if they wanna stay on top of the nfc west 
The 49ers looked super strong on offense with Christian McCaffrey making some incredible plays 
! Their run game was so dominant, it was like they just couldn't stop the clock 
. And Mac Jones is a total boss, he made some clutch throws and led his team to victory 
! 49ers really showed up big time on offense, all that running was just too much for the Giants to handle 
. And Christian McCaffrey, man, he's a beast on the field, can't believe he snagged a touchdown pass from Mac Jones 
. Now I'm just excited to see what happens next week with the Rams game – should be a thrilling matchup! 
- that TD pass from Mac Jones was pure magic 
. And Robinson Jr.'s 18-yard TD run was the cherry on top of an already amazing display. The 49ers' offense just dominated the Giants, and it's awesome to see them getting back on track after that tough loss last week 
- those drops by key players were costly! And their defense just couldn't contain Robinson Jr.'s power. The 49ers' pass rush was on point too, with Clelin Ferrell and Sam Okuayinonu getting two sacks of Jaxson Dart 
.
! I mean, who else can just take a touchdown pass from Mac Jones and still manage to rack up 106 rushing yards? 
The way the 49ers just dominated the game on both sides of the ball is insane... I mean, who can stop them now? 
. they're gonna have a tough game against the rams next week, but i'm feeling confident about their chances 
.
he's got that magic when it comes to making plays under pressure. And let's not forget about Robinson Jr., the dude's a beast! 
gotta give it to the 49ers defense though, they bounced back strong from that first touchdown and really put pressure on jaxson dart. Rams next week should be interesting...
and Robinson Jr. just annihilated them on the ground. The Giants' D was just getting destroyed by the 49ers' O... but you know what really gets my goat? How often they have to explain themselves with those little " stats" sections 
like we're all clueless or something. Can't they just keep it concise and let us focus on the actual game? 
. I feel for the Giants though, they just couldn't contain Robinson Jr's power runnin', he's like a freight train 
.
️!
Christian McCaffrey is a beast on the field 
, and Mac Jones is a total rockstar 
his composure under pressure is insane 
... I'm so hyped for their next game against the Rams 
his touchdown pass from Mac Jones was insane 
averaging 10.6 yards per carry is crazy!!! 
I'm loving this momentum for the 49ers, they're definitely back in the game now 
. if they can't get it together on D, they're gonna be stuck in 3rd place for a while 
. still, it's good to see them bouncing back from that tough loss last week
