The 49ers rolled the Jaguars on a day Christian McCaffrey’s touchdown streak ended. San Francisco’s three-game losing streak also came to an end, as did Jacksonville’s five-game winning streak. Brock Purdy benefitted from his farm time during the bye (and also getting Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams back) and rebounded with a sharp performance. He got 15.1 YPA with all three of his scores coming against the blitz and was especially impressive on throws downfield. Purdy looked healthier after the time off and didn’t turn the ball over after committing five over his previous two games. Purdy was fantasy’s No. 6 QB this week despite attempting just 26 passes, and his season YPA is up to 9.3.
McCaffrey had a nice day with 26 opportunities but failed to break the NFL record by scoring in his 18th straight game. It wasn’t without San Francisco trying, as he was given multiple carries and a target on fourth-and-goal late in a 34-3 blowout. CMC will look to start a new streak in Week 11 with San Francisco big favorites at home.
Samuel ran in a touchdown during his return, while Brandon Aiyuk scored on a play that’s typically intercepted. George Kittle added a long touchdown (what a pass by Purdy) as he, Samuel and Aiyuk all scored despite combining for just 11 targets (one fewer than CMC). The 49ers’ passing attack simply wasn’t needed much during a dominant defensive performance.
Trevor Lawrence committed three turnovers, was sacked a season-high five times and finished with a completion percentage over expectation (-6.8) in the 23rd percentile. The 49ers’ defense looks tough with new addition Chase Young (who combined with Nick Bosa to force a lost fumble by the QB), but Lawrence is on pace to total just 17 touchdowns this season. Jacksonville’s defense has played a lot better than its offense this year.
Travis Etienne suffered from the game script, while D’Ernest Johnson may have passed Tank Bigsby on the depth chart. Johnson saw touches during…
