Overview
- San Francisco opened the game with three sustained drives of at least 12 plays that produced touchdowns and led 21-10 at halftime.
- Christian McCaffrey scored a 1-yard rushing touchdown and a 12-yard receiving touchdown, extending his streak to seven straight games with a rushing TD, the longest single-season run in team history.
- Brock Purdy threw his 100th career passing touchdown on a 12-yard pass to McCaffrey and finished the first half 8-of-12 for 123 yards while adding six carries for 40 rushing yards.
- The 49ers played Sunday without top wideouts Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel and had placed Christian Kirk on injured reserve, forcing the offense to rely more on McCaffrey and long, clock-eating drives.
- If San Francisco holds the lead to win, the team will improve to 7-1 and keep the No. 1 seed in the NFC, with time of possession (20:35 to 9:25 in the first half) underscoring their complementary offense.
