Player statistics for the New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers game.

 

Aaron Rodgers made his season debut on Monday night in San Francisco, returning to the field after an Achilles tendon tear limited his first season with the Jets to just four plays. Rodgers threw a touchdown and led two scoring drives, but the 49ers, despite missing injured star RB Christian McCaffrey, dominated like defending NFC champions in a commanding 32-19 victory.

The Jets struggled with turnovers, finishing -2 in the margin, while the 49ers controlled the game, scoring on their final eight possessions and rushing for 181 yards. In McCaffrey’s absence, Jordan Mason stepped up with a career-best performance, rushing for 147 yards on 28 carries and scoring a touchdown as the 49ers amassed 401 total yards.

"Credit to them," said Jets HC Robert Saleh. "They executed a lot better than we did. We have to be better."

Rodgers (13-21, 167 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) tried to rally the Jets in the third quarter. Down 26-7, he launched a perfect 26-yard pass to Allen Lazard down the sideline. Shortly after, Rodgers drew Leonard Floyd offside on a free play, then connected with Lazard again for a 36-yard touchdown. Although the Jets failed on the 2-point conversion, they narrowed the gap to 26-13. It marked Rodgers' 18th career touchdown pass on a free play and the 476th of his Hall of Fame career. Earlier in the game, Rodgers led a 12-play, 70-yard drive that ended with Breece Hall's 3-yard TD, giving the Jets a 7-3 lead late in the first quarter. He was sharp on third downs, converting with passes to Garrett Wilson for 16, 14, and 8 yards.

As momentum shifted early, the 49ers leaned on their physical ground game. A 12-play drive ended with Deebo Samuel's 2-yard touchdown, putting the home team ahead 13-7. Without McCaffrey, Mason carried the load, racking up 74 yards on his first 11 carries. The 49ers gained 210 yards in the first half and scored on their last four drives, taking a 16-7 lead into halftime.
