How PFF graded QB Mac Jones, 49ers in bounce-back Week 9 win over Giants
The San Francisco 49ers' improvements across the board in their Week 9 win are exemplified by their PFF grades.
You draft a receiver, and now you have your young offensive core — Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo, Malik Nabers, the TBD receiver, future offensive line starter Marcus Mbow, and tight end Theo Johnson — all on their rookie contracts. This leaves you flexibility to spend on a much-needed CB1, which the Giants don’t have.
Plane protests returned on Sunday and the New York Giants responded with an ugly defensive performance, falling, 34-24, to the San Francisco 49ers.
Christian McCaffrey caught a touchdown pass from Mac Jones, rushed for another score and the San Francisco 49ers got back on track by running all over the New York Giants on the way to a 34-24 victory.
In the late third and early fourth quarter and the Giants within 20-10, quarterback Mac Jones hit Kendrick Bourne for a 13-yard gain and then Shanahan proceeded to run the ball down New York’s throat with eight straight runs. McCaffrey got the first five and Robinson the last three, including an 18-yard touchdown run for a 27-10 lead.
After the 49ers’ win over the Giants in Week 9, Saleh and Dart had a moment. According to reporter Jordan Raanan, Saleh approached the rookie, with tight end George Kittle following soon after. Both Saleh and Kittle are fans of Dart.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had never experienced the turf at MetLife Stadium — until Sunday.
