San Francisco 49ers (SF) @ New York Giants (NYG) on Sunday, Nov 02, 2025 at 10:00 AM PST. Final score: SF 34 – NYG 24

Here’s a review of the Week 9 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants on November 2, 2025:

The 49ers won 34-24 behind a dominant performance from Christian McCaffrey: 106 rushing yards + 67 receiving yards = 173 total yards, and two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving). He also set a new NFL record for most games with both a rush TD and a receiving TD. (Reuters)
Quarterback Mac Jones (filling in for the injured Brock Purdy) completed 19 of 24 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns. He was perfect (14-14) to start the game. (San Francisco Chronicle)
Their offense was efficient and balanced: the 49ers ran 28 times for McCaffrey and still used the pass well; they converted in the red zone and limited the Giants’ momentum. (San Francisco Chronicle)
On special teams and coaching: kicker Eddy Piñeiro remained perfect on the season (19-for-19), and the coaching staff made smart calls (including going for it early). (San Francisco Chronicle)
The win improves San Francisco’s record to 6-3, showing they’re still in the mix for the postseason. (San Francisco Chronicle)

The Giants got off to a promising start (opening drive touchdown by rookie QB Jaxson Dart) but then stalled. They ended up losing despite the rookie showing flashes: he threw for 191 yards with two passing TDs and added a rushing TD. (Reuters)
Defensively, the Giants were exposed, especially in the red zone: the 49ers scored on 4 of 5 red-zone trips and three of those were on third down. (New York Post)
The Giants’ run defense continues to be problematic. They allowed 159 rushing yards to the 49ers and couldn’t consistently stop the ground game. (Big Blue View)
Injuries and depth issues hounded New York: they were missing significant starters in the secondary and had other key injuries, which compounded the problems. (New York Post)
The loss drops the Giants to 2-7, increasingly distancing them from playoff contention. (New York Post)

After the Giants took a 7-0 lead early, the 49ers responded with drives that culminated in McCaffrey’s 5-yard TD catch and later a Jones-to-Jauan Jennings 11-yard TD to make it 14-7. (Reuters)
A critical sequence: The Giants stripped a fumble late in the first half with great position, but failed to convert a field goal from the 27-yard line. That miss at the half proved costly. (Big Blue View)
The 49ers then extended their lead in the fourth quarter (Brian Robinson Jr. had an 18-yard TD run and McCaffrey added another score) to seal the win. (Reuters)

For the 49ers: This win builds momentum and shows their offense can execute with Jones at QB, even with Purdy sidelined (his toe injury is expected to linger). (Reuters)
For the Giants: The season path seems bleak. They’re showing individual talent (Dart, Burns) but systemic issues remain — run defense, consistency, depth. The coaching staff now faces mounting pressure. (New York Post)
