49ers top Panthers, as Christian McCaffrey beats former team

 49ers top Panthers, as Christian McCaffrey beats former team

49ers top Panthers, as Christian McCaffrey beats his former team. For McCaffrey to run. So now third down and 10. Here's McCaffrey out of the backfield. He reached, and he got that first look, Joe, he can get the hot hand.

And he can set you up well. Joe: Third down and three. Throw Pearsall a first down right away. First time any other THANSEASON. And they're a much better group because of his health.

Joe: Robinson to the former commander. Got a nice block from George Cuttle, who was moving at the snap. And the advantage of seven. Coming up on third down. A lot of change by the end of the year, based on where they are right now

And not performing at their level. But I still think they're going to start after that. Joe: Touched eight on that first possession for McCaffrey.

And he got a big first down. Last five games, 16 touchdowns, 19 trips. Here's Jennings. And he's going to get it after breaking tackles! Touchdown 49ers.DRIVE. Long season for the 49ers.

Ends in the end zone. After a broken tackle. 7-0 San Francisco. Just like we're used to seeing. I'm as curious as anyone to see how he follows up on that performance tonight.

Joe: Rico doodles in the backfield. He gets it. Plenty of room to maneuver. He's not touched until he's gone four yards.

And that's what he gets as he gets the third down and 13. Chuba Hubbard hands off. Short of first down yardage. But he just doesn't want to come off the field, McCaffrey said.

Joe: They fake it. Purdy don the middle, and he marks it with a horn! Jaycee Horn! And then he gets thrown by Jozic. But here's an early takeaway for this Carolina defense and Troy:

That's a great play by Jaycee Horn because I was right under him. He just wants to keep that ball and let Jennings run into it. It's a little behind him.

And Horn in his hip pocket. And then he makes a great play on the ball. Jennings knows he's in trouble, and he's not able to get his hands on the ball.

And he'll hook up with Geist. The ball position alone is what's giving him fourth down. Joe: Young keeps. Fooled the defense! He's got a first down.

Mustafa made the tackle. But everyone was flowing to him, and he picked up the first down. Joe: EXTRA OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IN There, JAKE CURHAN for the Panthers on First and Goal. Young keeps. He's got a man, and he's got a pick!

By Jaycee Brown. Evans was the target, the end of the deception. And Jair Brown got his first interception of the year. As he takes it back FOR SAN FRANCISCO. FRED WARNER loves every one of them.

He's not short at all. He's got the semi. And some size. And the way he trains gives himself a chance. Joe: He's going to get tired tonight. Miss a man, catch, first down. Got the ball position. FRANCISCO. FRANCISCO. 

Really don't want TACO. FIRST DOWN. Curtain in the middle. He's got a cut. Long hair flowing as he takes the second first down. We'll send him to the LesSalters.

Lisa: Yeah, Joe, the getting backs go out and win a football game. Joe: Purdy can pull it down and take a first down with his legs. And I think

that brings up a point about Kyle Shanahan, who is known as a premier play caller. After the Commanders go. Third down and six. Purdy down the middle for Pearsall! And he gets picked off again!

By Mike Jackson. How about those two corners? Brooke Purdy. And we'll show you what was available on that third down pick-throne in front of Ricky Pearsall a while ago.

Here's Bryce Young spinning to his left. Able to get it to the rookie, back from the moment. Joe: Third down and two. Good pocket. McMillan dropped it!

Stream for free only on Prime Video. Fourth possession for the 49ers. The last two ended in interceptions. And the Panthers had the shot. But it was a golden opportunity on their third take.

When you see this ball get knocked out when it gets punched by O'Mannmelin. And then there were two different players involved. But instead it's McKIVITZ FOR SAN FRANCISCO.

TROY: It's McKIVITZ doing everything he can to keep this team in it. Joe: Second down and eight. Play action. Purdy. Picked again! Third. Second for Horn.

And this crowd is starting to get restless. This is the third throw that Brooke Purdy has made in the air for more than 15 yards. And this is the third interception of the night. JAYCEE HORN as he runs across HEUNDERcuts.

He's on the other side of the corner playing the field. But no one was in his zone. He's just reading Purdy and seeing that he's getting smashed in the way and slowing him down.

Brooke Purdy never sees it, Northree. And here they are again. It's caught by a horn. And Jimmy Horn Jr., who's from Colorado, has a nice catch-and-run and a rare first down.

Joe: Doodle will try from the left side. And a nice run. Get an advantage on the play of seven when we send him to Laravat to see what he does here on the next two plays.

Joe: Here's Hubbard. Out of the backfield. Mustafa comes in to make the stop! And now the decision is easy. Loss on the play of four. No decision for NO ZIEG.

Joe: 25-yard attempt to the undrafted rookie from Florida State. He's made three winners this season, including overtime last week in Atlanta. The 49ers' defense has been great.

Robert Saleh called them kids and caught one. Troy: Great play on the touchdown reception he got. Joe: That was great. Troy: That was great.

Joe: Here's Skymore. 33-yarder. Here's Skymore, who had a big comeback last week, will be here tonight.

Demani Richardson made the stop. And we'll take a look at that, and here's the game-winning second down to get back to 500. Pardes can get it to Kettle.

And a big 25-yard touchdown to George Kettle. Yeah, good job by Kettle. HENINERS Longest play of the night. Here's another high that almost picked up. That would have been fourth.

Kettle west target. And along those lines, what you just said about what makes Trie great and what drives him crazy sometimes. And we saw examples of that here tonight

Yeah. And you see the play at all, I mean, he's not going to give up on any play. He's very confident in his ability to put the ball wherever he wants.

And you know, like Kyle Shanahan said, it's killing some of them, it happens on third down. Here's another throw that goes away. And it's Jackson again

who had the best shot at it.  Matt Gay will get over his anger. 47-yard drive by Matt Gay. He's able to knock through a kicking contest during the week to get that nod

and the former Washington commander declared a seven-point game against the Big Cities on 23 off-downs, fourth downs. I mean, he's intentionally grounding here.

I mean, from where I'm standing, he and the receiver weren't on the same page. Yeah. But it doesn't matter. The officials aren't trying to control minds,

but it could come from 35 Purdy Findskill Lakes, and he's trying to sink a first down. And now there's a timeout by the Niners with 40 seconds left in this first half.

So we'll welcome you back inside for the second half. Yeah. Purdy Underneath McCaffrey added to the stats. Takes him inside the 40.

And that will do for the first half of football in a seven-point game. And Licktroy just said Carolina got the ball to start the second half.

Anyone on their offense. Toss to doodle from the right side. He's able to break a couple and still get around. Great start. Getting a chance to see Drake May in action in person.

Joe: Second down and 18. Four-man rush. Nice throw. HIT IN SFRIED TRIDE IS DOWDLE. And he gets out of bounds because of the winter. 11 advantage, which makes the third a little more manageable.

Because of that, he's involved offensively. Joe: Extra man on the rush. Quick throw. It's broken. McMillan's goal. And Renardo Green knocks ITWE are in the early second half. 49ers LED BY SEVEN

Pressure on PURDY. Drops it to McCaffrey. TERK gets away from WHARTON and gets 12. Let's check in with Laura for an injury update on the Carolina bit,

so they can try to keep it. Joe: Here's Kettle. Nice throw and catch, and a first down. He's been in years. He picked up seven first downs in tonight's game.

He gives way to Robinson. And he's got to block it well on the edge of the tight end Thornton. The nickel IS CHAU SMITH-WADE. THIRD DOWN and SIX. Wide open is Jennings' first down.

And the theme of getting into the red zone goes, even at this stage of the game, three points would be too much. Joe: Throws to McCaffrey. Gets to the edge.

Got a tackle by play number 13 on that drive. Toss to McCaffrey. Blocking, and a touchdown! He gets touchdown number seven this season from 12 yards out.

Troy: The perimeter run game is on possession, and they were able to use and capitalize on it. JUSZCZYK leads the way.

They also got a good block outside of the wide receivers that a lot of guys are facing. Joe: Second down and ten. Here's Hubbard. Makes a good move

And can get a first down. And boy, did the Panthers need a Super Bowl in this stadium? Lost to Denver. Here's Hubbard in second. He's busy.

He has another first down. And a little something for Carolina on that possession. A one-in-ten advantage. Troy: Well, you'd start him out instead.

Joe: Little shoulder fake and zone shot. He's got the rookie! Touchdown McMillan! And the Panthers are back in it. Reach for Carolina. Troy: You wouldn't think

that you'd get that throw based on the presnap that San Francisco showed. But Teterva McMillan runs a great route. Mustafa, the No. 6, the safety, was playing right there.

That would throw the Birdman of Alcatraz, would it? Wanted to be free. And I think. Here's McCaffrey with the first down. The ball came out, but he was down. Nice crease between the tackles, Joe: Cuttle again.

We saw him a lot tonight. And he's down 19 yards on 26 catches and runs. Of the coaching tree coming out of Kyle Shanahan. We're seeing him with the Rams.

Linebacker Bam Martin Scott. He came in shooting from there. And brings McCaffrey down with last year. Troy: Brooke Purdy got three points here that are still big.

Joe: They throw fakes, hand off to Robinson. And now it's on the fourth down because Nick Scott comes in to make it. Troy: Kyle Shanahan, they know it's Matt Gay.

Joe was, ironically enough, replaced by Jack Moody of the Washington Commanders after a short stop in Chicago. And Matt Gay was around the field for 2 ash flies tonight. I think

that this young man is going to be a football player. Can't wait to get his way. Joe: Here's a good throw by Toker. After faking a handoff and Coker with a 17-yard pick.

Let's go down to Lisa. Quite out of the passing game, but that's what it's going to be in the last 7 1/2 minutes if they have a chance to win the game. Joe: Second and eight. Coker again. Spins around after the catch

Joe: Here's Nick Bosa. Big Grateful Dead fan, wearing an Edd hat. Second down and eight. More young men than middle-aged. And intercepted! Bye, Brown, for the second time. JI'AYIRJI'AYIR didn't come up with anyone.

And he'll at least go with the drive for Carolina, McMillan's goal. Jair Brown took it away to defend Robert Saleh. Praise for Bosa. 20-9. (??) Being the official fan boss of the Courtyard...

They find themselves down two scores right now. Joe: Second and ten. Left for a doodle. He's able to go around Robinson and get a first down.

Could get a chance to get possession of the football again. Joe: Young sideline. Legitimate. That'll stop the clock. Out of bounds on that. Joe: Second down and ten. Bryce U. Bryce Young is in trouble, and down he goes!

Fired by FERRELL. He's a heck of a football coach. Can't wait to get to FOXBORO. Joe: This is a doodle. A long way to go on fourth and 18.

Any chance for Carolina as the great and future Hall of Famer now tries a field goal from Ryan Fitzgerald Estey will try to put themselves together.

Not closed, and I don't know if any Troy: Yeah, I'm anxious to see too,

OE, because the thought ball had no chance. Joe: I mean, he didn't do anything. I'm not sure anyone was happy about that.

It landed halfway in the endzone on a 57-yard attempt. It would have been a long time for Ryan Fitzgerald this season and career; it was over, and it didn't come close.

Troy: Yeah, that was the right call. They needed three points here. And they could have cut it in a Poferguson game. Just didn't get a good one - just didn't get a good kick on it.

The best teams in the NFL, and this is how they're going to close out their season. McCaffrey 142 yards. Another touchdown, and Kyle Shanahan and Dave Canales shake hands. There are 40 NINERS McCAFREY to run.

Joe: So now third down and 10. Here's McCaffrey out of the backfield. He reached, and he saw it first time, Joe, he can get a hot hand, and he can set you up well. Joe: Third down and three.

Throw Pearsall first down immediately. First time any other THANSEASON. And they're a much better group because of his health. Joe: Robinson handed the former commander. Got a nice block from George Kittle, who was in motion at the snap.

And the advantage of seven. Third down coming. A lot of change by the end of the year, based on where they are right now and not performing at their level. But I still think they're going to start after that.

Joe: Touchdown number eight for McCaffrey on that first possession. And he got a big first down. Last five games, 16 touchdowns, 19 trips. Here's Jennings.

And he's going to take it after breaking tackles! Touchdown 49ers.DRIVE. Long season for the 49ers. Ends up in the end zone. After a broken tackle. 7-0 San Francisco. Just like we're used to seeing. I'm as curious as anyone to see

how he follows up on that performance tonight. Joe: Rico Doodle in the backfield. He gets it. Plenty of room to maneuver. He wasn't touched

until he went four yards. And that's what he got, and 13. Chuba Hubbard took the handoff. First down yardage short. But he just didn't want to come off the field, McCaffrey said.

Purdy down the middle, and he marked it with a horn! Jaycee Horn! And then he got dumped by Jusik. But here's an early takeaway for this Carolina defense and Troy:

That's a great game by Jaycee Horn because I was there under him. He just wants to keep that ball and let Jennings run into it. It's a little behind him.

And the horn in his hip pocket. And then he makes a great play on the ball. Jennings knows he's in trouble, and he's not going to be able to get his hands on the ball and connect the gist.

The ball location alone is what's giving him fourth down. Joe: Young keeps. Fooled the defense! He's got a first down. Mustafa makes the tackle. But everyone was flowing towards him.

And he picked up the first down. Joe: EXTRA OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IN There, JAKE CURHAN for the Panthers on First and Goal. Young keeps. He's got a man,

And he's picked off! By Jay Brown. Evans was the target, the end of the ruck. And Jay Brown got his first interception of the year. As he takes it back

FORSAN FRANCISCO. FRED Warner loves every one of them. He's not short at all. He's got the semis. And some size. And the way he trains

He gives himself a chance. Joe: He's going to be tired tonight. Miss a man, catch, first down. Possession of the ball, San Francisco. Francisco. Really don't want TACO. FIRST DOWN. Purdy in the middle.

He's got a cut. Long hair flowing like he's taking the second first down. We'll send him to the LesSalters. Lisa: Yeah, Joe, the getting backs go out and win a football game.

Joe: Purdy is capable of pulling it down and taking the first down with his legs. And I think that brings up a point about Kyle Shanahan,

who is known as a premier play caller. After the Commanders went. Third down and six. Purdy down the middle for Persall! And he got picked again! By Mike Jackson. How about those two corners? Brooke Purdy.

And we'll show you what was available on that third-down pick-throne in front of Ricky Pearsall a while ago. Here's Bryce Young spinning to his left. Able to pass it to the rookie,

Backing away from that moment. Joe: Third down and two. Good pocket. McMillan Dropped! Stream for free only on Prime Video.

Fourth possession for the 49ers. The last two ended in interceptions. And the Panthers had a shot at attack. But it's a chance for their third take, as you can see.
