Overview

  • San Francisco improved to 7-1 with a 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 8 at Levi’s Stadium after returning from a bye week.
  • The 49ers’ defense created the game’s turning points by producing five takeaways, including three interceptions and two forced fumbles that repeatedly ended Raiders drives.
  • Quarterback Brock Purdy finished 17-of-25 for 232 yards with two passing touchdowns, one interception, and a rushing touchdown, while Christian McCaffrey had 68 rushing yards with a rushing score and caught a receiving touchdown.
  • Two young players left with injuries during the game — Gracen Halton was carted off with a leg injury and Renardo Green exited with a back issue — and NFL insider reporting says veteran Mike Evans did not play and is questionable for next week.
  • The win reasserts the 49ers’ complement of offense and defense and now shifts focus to roster updates and short-term depth planning ahead of the team’s Week 10 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
