Quick Takeaways


Most of the 49ers starters sat out this contest. Twenty-seven players didn't suit up on Saturday night. One likely starter who did play is defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, who finished the night with a sack, earning the fourth highest overall grade among the 49ers defense. It was rookie defensive end Drake Jackson earning the highest defensive overall grade for the team, finishing the night with three pressures and won against his blocker another two times as a pass rusher.

Running back Jordan Mason led the 49ers with 57 rushing yards on nine carries. That's an average of 6.3 yards per carry. He earned San Francisco's highest overall grade of the game. Ty Davis-Price carried the football 10 times for 41 rushing yards (4.1 average). Thirty-one of those yards came after contact.

With starter Trey Lance sitting out the game, Nate Sudfeld and Brock Purdy took turns helming the offense. Purdy finished the night 14-of-23 for 128 yards, no touchdowns, a passer rating of 76.0, and an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 67.2. However, his statistics suffered from four drops by his targets.

Sudfeld, however, finished 13-of-17 for 102 yards, a touchdowns pass, and a passer rating of 110.4. The two quarterbacks were sacked three combined times (two for Purdy, one for Sudfeld).

Tight end Tanner Hudson caught five passes for 43 yards on six targets, leading the team in receiving. 49ers tight ends combined for 11 catches on 12 targets for 110 yards and eight first downs.

The 49ers had five combined drops, three of which came from wide receivers Jauan Jennings (48.9 overall grade) and Danny Gray (57.9 overall grade).

Rookie offensive lineman Spencer Burford played the entire first half and didn't give up a pressure in pass protection during his 23 snaps, earning an overall grade of 68.2.

Safeties George Odum (63.9) and Tayler Hawkins had one interception each. Linebacker Oren Burks was targeted five times, giving up five receptions for 39 yards and two first downs, earning a 51.9 overall grade.
