The San Francisco 49ers beat the Detroit Lions 30-27 at Levi's Stadium on Sunday and improved to 1-1 on the season.
Below is a mix of key player and team stats provided by the NFL, the 49ers, and Pro Football Focus.
Key Player Statistics
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18-of-26 pass attempts for 206 yards with two touchdowns and a passer rating of 118.4, which is his highest rating with the 49ers and second-highest of his career (minimum 10 attempts; 135.4 vs. Maimi in 2016).
Despite being sacked by the Lions six times, Garoppolo was under pressure on only nine of his 33 dropbacks.
Running back Matt Breida rushed for a career-high 138 yards with one touchdown on 11 carries. It was the second-year player's first career game with 100-or-more rushing yards. Breida also had three receptions for 21 yards.
Breida's 138 rushing yards are the most in a single game for any player this season.
Breida's 12.5 yards per run is the third-best single-game rushing average in franchise history with a minimum of 10 attempts (Joe Perry, 13.4 vs. Det. on 11/2/58; Frank Gore, 12.9 vs. Sea. on 9/20/09).
Breida's 66-yard touchdown run was the longest in franchise history since quarterback Colin Kaepernick recorded a 90-yard touchdown run against the San Diego Chargers in 2014.
Breida's overall Pro Football Focus grade of 90.6 was the best among all running backs during Week 2.
Wide receiver Pierre Garçon led the team in receiving with four catches for 57 yards.
Defensive lineman DeForest Buckner sacked Lions quarterback
Matthew Stafford, increasing his season total to 3.5. The sack came in 3.5 seconds, according to NFL.com's Next Gen stats, which was the fastest of the game.
Buckner also had a hit and three hurries against the Lions.
Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, who was pulled in the fourth quarter, allowed eight catches on 12 targets for 99 yards and two touchdowns.
Kicker Robbie Gould has connected on 29 consecutive field goal attempts, which is a franchise record.
Defensive back D.J. Reed's 90-yard kickoff return to open the second half was the longest since wide receiver Kyle Williams recorded a 94-yard kickoff return in 2012 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Key Team Statistics
The 49ers have won 13 consecutive home games against the Lions, which is the longest active home winning streak against any opponent in the NFL.
The 49ers defense gave up 427 total net yards to the Lions offense. As of Sunday night, the unit ranks 23rd against the pass and 18th against the run.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are

We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates recently revealed a joint three-round mock draft, examining the top 100 selections and forecasting
Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
