Whether it was Deebo Samuel, George Kittle or Christian McCaffrey, the San Francisco 49ers wreaked havoc on the New York Giants with yards after the catch or contact.
The Niners (3-0) willed those yards toward a dominating 30-12 home victory over the Giants at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Thursday Night Football to remain undefeated this season.
Niners' quarterback Brock Purdy completed 25 of 37 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns, while Samuel hauled in six receptions for 129 yards and a TD. Christian McCaffrey rumbled his way to 85 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Samuel dragging a few Giants defenders for extra yardage in the fourth quarter, followed by the star wideout securing a 27-yard touchdown a few plays later not only capped the 49ers' domination of Big Blue, but it typified just how much San Francisco manhandled New York.
Samuel's TD served as the final hammer that the Niners dropped on the Giants, though they led comfortably over a majority of the game.
San Fran took a 17-6 lead into halftime and when the Giants pulled with 17-12 in the third quarter, the 49ers retorted with two field goals from rookie Jake Moody and that TD reception from Samuel to put the game out of reach. Samuel was shaken up from a hit a few plays before returning to record the touchdown, making that score all the more special.
The Giants (1-2), who were without star running back Saquon Barkley (high ankle sprain), struggled to convert third downs, while their defense didn't have many answers for the Niners' high-powered offense on third downs either.
With the victory, the 49ers improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2019.
