The San Francisco 49ers made a strong comeback to beat the New York Giants 34-24, handing their East Rutherford rivals their third straight loss. Christian McCaffrey played a pivotal role in the win, scoring two touchdowns - one on a pass from Mac Jones and another on the ground. He racked up an impressive 173 scrimmage yards, including 106 rushing yards and 67 receiving yards.
In stark contrast to last week's underwhelming effort where they managed just 10 rushing attempts, the 49ers showed their usual attacking prowess, pounding away at the Giants' defense for 159 yards on the ground. Even without starting quarterback Brock Purdy, who sat out his fifth consecutive game due to injury, the team's running backs, particularly Brian Robinson Jr., proved too much for New York to handle.
Robinson had an impressive day with 28 carries for 106 rushing yards, averaging a whopping 10.6 yards per carry. The Giants' defense looked disjointed at times, allowing McCaffrey and Robinson to break free and make big plays. Mac Jones also bounced back from a fumble earlier in the game, completing his first 14 passes of the day before finishing with 19 of 24 for 235 yards and two touchdowns.
Despite the loss, the Giants remain winless at home this season, while the 49ers moved to 6-3 and took a step closer to claiming the top spot in the NFC West. The Niners' defense also showed signs of improvement after allowing a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time this year.
The defeat marks three losses in a row for the Giants, who now face an uphill battle to get back into contention. On the other hand, San Francisco's win puts them firmly in the mix for division honors and sets them up nicely for their upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday.

they totally dominated the Giants on both sides of the ball! McCaffrey was EVERYTHING out there, I love how he took it to the house on those two plays 
and Robinson Jr. was a beast too! 106 rushing yards on just 28 carries is insane 
can't wait for next week's game against the Rams, this one's gonna be EPIC 
I'm loving how the 49ers got back on track after that weird loss last week! Christian McCaffrey was a BEAST 
, totally took over the game and made those Giants defense look like they were playing with one leg down 
. And can we talk about Brian Robinson Jr.? Dude is a running machine! 
28 carries for 106 yards? That's insane! The 49ers' running backs just destroyed the Giants' D, and I love it 
. Now they're looking like serious contenders for the NFC West, and I'm here for it 
.
- it's not easy to keep a team going when your starting QB is out, but San Fran's depth and bench guys were huge. 
- their win puts 'em in a great position, but they still have a lot of work to do before they can start thinking about division titles 
I was just thinking about how much I love trying out new coffee shops downtown 
They just keep on rolling with that dominant running game, especially from McCaffrey and Robinson Jr.! It's like they're trying to make a statement, proving that even without Brock Purdy, they can still bring the heat. The Giants, on the other hand, just can't seem to get anything going at home this season... 
I mean, 3 losses in a row? That's not good for their playoff hopes. But hey, the 49ers are definitely making a push for division honors now! 
! mac jones is looking sharp after that fumble earlier and christian mccaffrey is a beast on the field 
i mean, who else can make it look so easy to score touchdowns? 
and bradley robinson jr. is having a breakout season - 28 carries for 106 yards, wow! 
. Giants are just having an off season and it's sad for them, but 6-3 is not bad at all 
, but they need to keep up this pace if they wanna make a deep run in the playoffs 
.
:
without Brock Purdy! 19/24 and 235 yards is insane, especially after that fumble earlier 
. The Giants' defense looked all over the place at times though 
. Like, what's going on with them? Their D has been one of the best in the league this season... how can they keep letting teams run wild like that? 
On a positive note, Christian McCaffrey was ON FIRE 
on the ground, 106 rushing yards is crazy! 
️. The Giants are just having a tough time right now, but you can't keep them down forever
