![]() The home team would stretch their lead out even more right before the half when Christian McCaffery punched in a 4 yard TD run to stretch the lead to 17-3 while stretching his TD streak to 12 straight game which tied Jerry Rice’s Niners franchise record. The 9 yard pitch and catch put San Fran up 10-3 midway through the second quarter. In that time, the Niners scored two touchdowns, the first one was brought down by Ronnie Bell who was filling in for an injured Brandon Aiyuk. New York gained 49 yards on their first drive before kicking an early field goal but went to half with 88 yards of total offense. Both teams exchanged field goals to start the game, but after that the Niners took control on both sides of the ball. The Niners however, have been nothing short of dominant in the opening weeks of the season, and Thursday night was no different. ![]() Not to mention their star running back Saquon Barkley was sidelined after suffering an ankle injury last week. It was always going to be tough for New York who had their second straight game on the west coast, and on a short week. Brock Purdy threw for over 300 yards as the Niners cruised to a 30-12 victory from Levi Stadium on Thursday night. The touchdown served as the game's final score after the Browns kept the Giants out of the end zone in the game's final moments.The San Francisco 49ers continued to roll through the competition in their home debut against the New York Giants. The field goal capped off a 44-yard drive, with Kelly accounting for each of those yards. Cleveland responded with a 49-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin. The Giants were unable to take the lead, however, as running back Gary Brightwell was stuffed by a host of Cleveland defenders on New York's two-point try. Completions of 14 and 19 yards from the Browns' Kyle Lauletta (who came into the game near the end of the first half) to fullback Johnny Stanton set up the only score of the third quarter for both teams.Īfter five consecutive punts by the Giants' offense, Lewerke hit Sills for an 8-yard score on a third-down play in the final quarter. The Browns broke the tie five minutes into the second half, as running back John Kelly raced five yards to pay-dirt. Both teams came up empty on their final two drives of the half. Cleveland's second drive (and first of the second quarter) ended when Keenum was picked off by cornerback Quincy Wilson in the end zone. The drive's biggest play was a 24-yard completion from Mike Glennon to tight end Rysen John three plays before Booker's score. The Giants responded with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by Devontae Booker's 1-yard scoring plunge. The drive also included 46 rushing yards, 34 of those coming from running back D'Ernest Johnson. Browns quarterback Case Keenum, after misfiring on a second down throw to Rashard Higgins in the end zone, hit his fourth-down pass to KhaDarel Hodge for a touchdown on what looked like the exact same play. Wearing all-white uniforms to combat the heat and humidity, the Browns quickly marched 81 yards in 10 plays on the game's opening drive. In fact, the game came down to a Hail Mary, as Brian Lewerke's heave to David Sills was picked off by Browns defensive back Richard LeCounte in the end zone. Despite the absence of several notable starters, the Browns' 17-13 preseason win over the Giants was not devoid of some drama.
