Quick Takeaways

Fred Warner earned the highest grade of the game (92.6), finishing with seven tackles and a forced fumble. It was his highest grade since the Divisional Playoff game against the Green Bay Packers during the 2021 season (94.2). Despite missing two tackles, contributing to a low 38.6 tackling grade, Warner excelled in coverage, earning a superb 92.9 coverage grade and allowing just one reception for three yards.

Defensive end Nick Bosa had the second-highest grade of the game at 90.5, his highest mark since Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars last season (93.6). He posted the top pass-rushing grade (87.8) and led in run defense with a 75.1 grade. Bosa earned a game-high five pressures.

Cornerback Charvarius Ward was the highest-graded defensive back, allowing only two receptions for 14 yards on five targets. Newcomer Isaac Yiadom also impressed with a solid 70.3 defensive grade, giving up two receptions for 29 yards on four targets.

Defensive end Leonard Floyd notched two tackles and sacked Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the 59th sack of his career. However, his overall defensive grade of 47.4 was the second-lowest on the team, with a 31.7 tackling grade contributing to the poor mark. Floyd did finish with four pressures, the second-highest total of the game.

Despite recording his first career interception, linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles earned a team-low 45.6 grade in just 12 snaps, with a missed tackle factoring into the mark.

On the offensive side, quarterback Brock Purdy posted the highest offensive grade (89.6) after completing 19 of 29 passes for 231 yards.

Tackle Trent Williams was the highest-graded offensive lineman (81.6), allowing just one pressure in 36 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.

Rookie Dominick Puni followed closely as the second-highest graded offensive lineman (79.1), also allowing just one pressure against the Jets.

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings led the 49ers' receivers with a 77.1 overall grade.

Running back Jordan Mason earned the sixth-highest grade (72.8) among his offensive teammates, his best since Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys last season (91.0). Mason rushed for a career-high 147 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries, the most by a 49ers running back since Frank Gore's 31 carries against the Cleveland Browns in 2011.

Fullback Kyle Juszczyk earned the game's best run-blocking grade (86.7) and contributed two receptions for 40 yards, including a crucial 34-yard catch that set up a touchdown.

In his first on-field action since ending his contract standoff, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk recorded two catches for 28 yards but finished with a disappointing 57.8 overall grade.
