• Christian McCaffrey totaled 201 yards (129 rushing, 72 receiving) and scored twice, including the late touchdown that sealed it.
• Turnovers proved pivotal: Atlanta’s Kaden Elliss intercepted Mac Jones, while Bryce Huff stripped Michael Penix Jr., setting up Eddy Piñeiro’s 55-yard field goal.
• The shorthanded 49ers defense contained the Falcons’ ground game and kept Michael Penix Jr. in check; he finished with 241 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
