"The Niners did a masterful job containing Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who only had 92 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in this game. At the same time, San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey torched Atlanta for 201 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. Following an exchange of punts to get things started, the Falcons scored the game's first points. They orchestrated a 19-play, 60-yard drive that led to a field goal for a 3-0 Atlanta lead early in the second quarter."
"San Fran was unable to put together a proper response. Even though they got down to Atlanta's 23 yard line, a pass from quarterback Mac Jones hit off the hands of wide receiver Jauan Jennings and was intercepted by linebacker Kaden Elliss. Atlanta's offense took the field with 1:42 left in the second quarter and two timeouts in its pocket. That's when disaster struck. Michael Penix Jr. was sacked and stripped of the football at the Falcons' 39."
