After last week's 24-20 upset loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Santa Clara, California, the San Francisco 49ers made amends and, with their starters down, beat a weak New York Jets team by more than 20 points.
The game was handled calmly by the Kyle Shanahan-coached team as they partially won two of the four quarters, tying the last two quarters at three points apiece.
Red and Gold quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw 16 passes throughout the game, completing 14 of them and marking 131 yards that turned into two touchdown tosses to Jordan Reed, who also completed seven receptions in the game and 50 yards.
Another key man, both last season that reached the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, as in this meeting, was Raheem Mostert: the San Francisco running back accumulated in eight carries 92 yards, averaging 11.5 yards of progress for each participation towards the front, in addition to generating a touchdown.
The second quarter was the most dominant of the game, as the 49ers were able to extend their 7-3 lead to that point with 14 more points and no turnovers.
The victory takes more relevance after reviewing the list of casualties with which the team arrived to the game in Santa Clara: the closed wing George Kittle, who suffered in last week's game a knee injury, Richard Sherman, for a leg problem, in addition to adding in the first minutes of today's game the injuries of defenders like Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas.
In the game against the Jets also left the field for injury Mostert and starting passer Garoppolo, so he had to make his appearance Nick Mullens, a man who passed eight of 11 deliveries correctly and was intercepted once.
San Francisco's next three games will be against the New York Giants as visitors, and they will host the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins at home.
