NFL Week 9 takeaways: What We Learned from Sunday's 12 games

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the New York Giants on the road, with quarterback Mac Jones leading a precise offensive attack. Jones completed all 14 of his first-half passes, helping the 49ers establish an early lead with two touchdown drives. The 49ers' strategy focused on short and intermediate passes, avoiding deep shots due to offensive line concerns. Running back Christian McCaffrey played a significant role, amassing 173 total yards and scoring both a rushing and receiving touchdown.

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart showed resilience for the Giants, completing 24 of 33 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Dart also led the Giants in rushing with 56 yards and a touchdown.
