In a bruising, defense-first night, the 49ers took a 10-3 halftime lead over the Falcons behind Christian McCaffrey’s goal-line score and a 43-yard Eddy Pineiro field goal. Bryce Huff punctuated San Francisco’s start with a strip-sack of Michael Penix Jr., while Mac Jones mixed timely third-down throws with an interception off a Jauan Jennings bobble. Atlanta later leaned on Bijan Robinson—four touches on a short burst capped by a touchdown after Jamal Agnew’s big return. The Falcons lost linebacker Divine Deablo to a forearm injury, and George Kittle returned to San Francisco’s lineup.
