Leading the charge for San Francisco was Arch Manning, who threw for an impressive 421 yards and six touchdowns, demonstrating pinpoint accuracy and poise under pressure. Manning's go-to target was Ricky Pearsall, who lit up the field with 238 receiving yards, making crucial catches at key moments. The Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs also shined on offense, rushing for 153 yards and keeping Detroit competitive throughout the match.
