"Your San Francisco 49ers had their bye last week, and yesterday they had the next best thing a home game against arguably the league's worst team. And that game ended up a 37-24 win over the Tennessee Titans, though that game ends the monthlong easy cakewalk phase of their schedule, and mostly very difficult games remain now on the Niners' regular season horizon."
"Brock Purdy showed off his wild improvisational skills throughout the game, like with this fun completion to DeMarcus Robinson, which resulted in the standard one-yard Christian McCaffrey TD run. Another Niners Eddy Pineiro field goal made for a 17-10 halftime score, along with a corresponding missed Titans field goal by placekicker Joey Slye. (Remember him? He was briefly the Niners' replacement kicker when Robbie Gould was injured in 2021.)"
San Francisco defeated Tennessee 37-24, maintaining decent playoff positioning while facing a tougher schedule ahead. The 49ers scored on their opening drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings and never trailed. Tennessee answered with a field goal after reaching inside the 10, but Brock Purdy's improvisation and a completion to DeMarcus Robinson set up a Christian McCaffrey one-yard TD. Eddy Pineiro added a field goal for a 17-10 halftime lead, after Joey Slye missed a Titans attempt. Ricky Pearsall had six catches for 96 yards, leading to a long third-quarter touchdown drive and a 31-10 late lead. Tennessee scored twice in garbage time, including a gadget 'fat guy touchdown' to Jeffery Simmons, but the 49ers closed 37-24.
