The 49ers’ injury issues were a non-story throughout their 36-9 romp over the Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
It took awhile for San Francisco to start rolling, but once they did there was no shortage of highlight-worthy plays.
The first highlight came late in the first half when Jerick McKinnon finally found a little bit of running room after a tough start to the day. He had an 11-yard scamper to put San Francisco at the Giants’ 10-yard line. Then he finished the drive off with his third touchdown in as many weeks.
Oh Lord Jet just made another one.@JetMckinnon1

The defense got in on the action two plays later when Fred Warner notched his first interception of the year.

San Francisco extended their lead on a drive that heavily utilized rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He caught three balls for 38 yards on the drive, then scored his first NFL touchdown on his third rushing attempt of the game.
How about this rookie?!

The Giants’ ensuing drive generated another defensive highlight when defensive end Kerry Hyder Jr. dragged down Giants QB Daniel Jones for his second sack of the year.

New York wound up in a fourth-and-short on that drive. They went for it, and the 49ers’ defensive front came up with a huge stop that essentially put the game away.

The 49ers took their stellar field position after the turnover on downs and turned it into another touchdown. This time it was Jeff Wilson Jr. plowing in for his first score of the year.

On their next series, Nick Mullens made his way into the highlights with a dime for a first down to Aiyuk.
Slick Nick was droppin dimes en route to a 300+ yard passing day.

Wilson wasn’t done punching in touchdowns though. He put the cherry on top of a dominant showing by the 49ers with a two-yard rushing score.
Through the air and on the ground.@jeffwilsonjr with his 2nd TD of the day.
