Christian McCaffrey was the standout performer for San Francisco, racking up an impressive 237 rushing yards and contributing significantly to the team's scoring efforts.

The turning point came early in the second quarter when Garrett’s relentless pressure led to a critical turnover, allowing the 49ers to extend their lead and control the game.
