The San Francisco 49ers picked up their second straight win on Sunday with a 24-14 victory over the New York Jets. The win improved the 49ers record to 5-8 overall and 3-4 at home. I really thought that the Jets would have their way with the 49ers even though they had to travel across the country to play the game. I guess I was wrong!
Shaun Hill passed for 285 yards on 28 of 39 passing. Hill hooked up with Bryant Johnson and Frank Gore as he tossed two touchdowns in the game. Issac Bruce and Johnson both caught six balls from Hill as they both stayed active all game long.
The 49ers didn’t have much of a running attack as Gore was the leading rusher with only 52 yards on 14 carries. DeShaun Foster had 16 carries for 35 yards as well.
The defense is what won this game for the 49ers I had though. Michael Lewis was the leading tackler with seven tackles. Patrick Willis was right behind Lewis as he finished up with six total tackles.
The defense held Brett Favre to just 20 of 31 completions and 137 yards.
Up next for the 49ers is a game in Miami against the Dolphins. The Dolphins are currently favored by -6.5 points and that is about right considering the 49ers have to travel to the East coast for an early game on Sunday. Can the team win their third straight game? Let’s hope so!
