St Nick CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Fill-in back Jordan Bricklayer took front and center attention in a game advertised as Aaron Rodgers' return.
Bricklayer ran for 147 yards and a score instead of the harmed Christian McCaffrey and the 49ers ruined Rodgers' rebound game with a 32-19 triumph over the New York Planes on Monday night.
The previous undrafted free specialist overwhelmed New York's exceptionally acclaimed guard with his actual running style, assisting the Niners with scoring on eight straight drives.
"I thought he runs like he generally does," mentor Kyle Shanahan said. "At the point when you get him the ball, he breaks handles, ordinarily gets more than we block for. At the point when we had the great paths, he generally hit them and got a pack. Yet, JP was great today."
Rodgers tossed for 167 yards and one TD and furthermore had a capture precisely 52 weeks to the day after his introduction with New York finished with a torn Achilles after four snaps.
Rodgers had issues moving around in the pocket yet flaunted the arm that assisted him with winning four MVPs with the Green Cove Packers a couple of times in his most memorable genuine activity for the Planes.
"I can play better," Rodgers said. "I missed two or three tosses. ... I felt in general I got the ball out very great however there were a few valuable open doors I might want to have back."
Bricklayer capitalized on his chances in his most memorable vocation start. He had only 83 conveys his initial two seasons yet exploited being one of a handful of the solid backs for the Niners this mid year to procure a bigger job with McCaffrey's sensitive calf Achilles actually irritating him.
His 28 conveys were the most for any Niners player in a standard season game in 13 years as he showed he can deal with a full-time load.
"I'm truly energized for him," quarterback Brock Purdy said. "He's acquired it. He's the sort of fellow where it's not given to him. To see him go out and do what he did this evening, I'm so glad for him."
Deebo Samuel added a 2-yard TD run and Jake Irritable made an establishment record-binds six field objectives to lead the 49ers to the success.
Purdy tossed for 231 yards without any scores or turnovers against a Planes protection that produced little tension without holdout edge rusher Haason Reddick.
The Niners assumed command over the game around halftime. They got a field objective on a 12-play, 75-yard drive toward the finish of the main half and scored on Bricklayer's 5-yard run on a 11-play, 70-yarder to begin the last part. That transformed a 13-7 lead into a 23-7 benefit with the Planes getting just a single bow down snap during that stretch.
"That is a title outfit, and they acquainted us with some title football," Planes mentor Robert Saleh said.
Rodgers then tossed a capture on the following drive on a pass to Garrett Wilson that was redirected by Deommodore Lenoir under the control of linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles.
Rodgers tossed his first TD pass in quite a while when he exploited a free play when Leonard Floyd hopped offsides to associate on a 36-yard scoring strike to Allen Lazard that slice the shortage to 26-13. Lazard got a second TD in the end seconds from Tyrod Taylor after the game had previously been chosen.
"We expect significance when we step on the field," Rodgers said. "There were minutes, minutes that felt much better yet not maintained. I felt like if we would simply get a first down we'd roll. Yet, we had those three and outs which hurt us. I think a great deal of stuff is correctable."
Rodgers' second game with the Planes endured significantly longer than his first, which finished with a season-finishing Achilles injury after only four snaps in 2023.
New York went three-and-out on the initial drive this game with two handoffs and a dropped pass by Lazard before a difficulty on the fourth snap that was brief rather than season finishing this time around. Rodgers' most memorable finishing as a Fly was gotten by Breece Corridor, who had the ball finished off by Fred Warner for a lost bobble that put forth up a Niners field objective.
Rodgers got the Planes rolling on the accompanying drive, changing over three third-down passes to Wilson to set up Corridor's 3-yard TD run. Rodgers went 6 for 7 for 61 yards on the drive.
New York didn't get one more first down in the half and followed 16-7 at the break.
