The 49ers (0-1) travel to MetLife Stadium for a 1:00 ET kickoff against the New York Jets (0-1).
Garoppolo starts. Sam Darnold is the Jets' QB1 under Adam Gase. Mostert and Coleman lead the backfield. Solomon Thomas remains questionable.
The Jets are coming off a 27-17 loss to the Bills in Week 1.[1][2][3]
MetLife Stadium on a short week. The Jets, at 0-1 and coming off a year that has Adam Gase already on the hot seat, are the kind of opponent a stalled championship contender uses as a reset.
Garoppolo gets a second chance to look like the quarterback the 49ers paid. The defense, with Kinlaw in his second start and the front rotation already adjusted for the absence of Buckner, will line up against a Sam Darnold offense that produced 17 points in Week 1.
The 49ers are favored by 8. Sunday is the kind of road game where the championship-DNA team handles business and resets the season's trajectory.
Week 2 begins the league's early sort. The 49ers as defending NFC champs sit at 0-1 alongside the rest of the year's preseason favorites who lost in Week 1. The Buccaneers won in Brady's debut. The Saints beat Tampa Bay. The Cowboys are 0-1. The Rams handled the Cowboys. The Sunday road game against the Jets is the kind of matchup where the favorite simply needs to win and re-enter the conference picture.
Through one game the 49ers are 0-1 with a -4 point differential. The Jets are 0-1 with a -10. Sam Darnold averaged 215 passing yards in Week 1 with one TD. Mostert had 56 rushing on 11 carries last week and added the 76-yard receiving TD. DeForest Buckner replacement Javon Kinlaw produced two pressures in his NFL debut. Vegas opens the 49ers as 8-point road favorites; total 43.5.

Jimmy Garoppolo threw two touchdown passes and the 49ers raced past the New York Jets 31-13 at MetLife Stadium, but the win came at a brutal cost. Nick Bosa left in the second quarter with a knee injury later diagnosed as a torn ACL. Garoppolo limped off late in the second quarter with a high ankle sprain. Raheem Mostert pulled up with a knee. Solomon Thomas tore his ACL. Jerick McKinnon ran for two touchdowns. Sam Darnold finished 21-of-32 for 179 with one TD and one INT. The 49ers improved to 1-1 with the worst injury Sunday of the Shanahan era.[1][2][3]
Five 49ers left MetLife Stadium with significant injuries on a Sunday afternoon that took a one-win team and turned it into something that no longer resembled its preseason form. Nick Bosa tore his ACL. Jimmy Garoppolo sprained a high ankle. Raheem Mostert hyperextended a knee. Solomon Thomas tore his ACL. Dee Ford left with a back spasm.
The 49ers won 31-13. Garoppolo threw two touchdowns before the injury, the second to Jerick McKinnon for 19 yards. McKinnon, who hadn't played a regular-season snap since 2017 because of his own ACL surgeries, ran in two more. Nick Mullens finished out the win in the fourth quarter.
The Sam Darnold-Adam Gase Jets, a 0-2 team that nobody figured for much in 2020, ended the day with most of the 49ers' championship core on the injury report. The kind of road win that, by Tuesday morning, will feel more like a road loss. 1-1.
49ers 31, Jets 13. Margin: +18. Two-game record: 1-1, +14 differential.
A 31-13 win at MetLife Stadium and an injury Sunday that gutted the championship-defense roster. The 49ers improve to 1-1 with the worst single-day injury attrition in the Shanahan era.
How it unfolded
McKinnon ran in a 1-yard touchdown to give the 49ers an early 7-0 lead. The Jets answered with a Sam Ficken field goal. McKinnon caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Garoppolo to make it 14-3. Garoppolo connected with Trent Taylor on a 22-yard TD before exiting with the ankle. Mullens came in. McKinnon's second rushing TD made it 24-3 by halftime. Sam Darnold finally got the Jets going in the third quarter for a touchdown to Le'Veon Bell. The 49ers added a Robbie Gould field goal. Final 31-13.
The turning point
Nick Bosa's knee injury in the second quarter. With the 49ers building a comfortable lead, Bosa's untouched ACL tear on a pass-rush rep changed the season entirely. The 49ers' defensive front, designed around Bosa as the centerpiece, lost its identity in one play.
By the numbers
Garoppolo 14-of-16 for 131 with two TDs before the exit. Mullens 8-of-11 for 71 in relief. McKinnon 12 carries for 77 with two rushing TDs and the receiving TD. Sam Darnold 179 passing on 32 attempts with one TD and one INT. Le'Veon Bell 14 carries for 74. The defense generated three sacks, two from Arik Armstead.
Personnel watch
Bosa torn ACL, season-ending. Solomon Thomas torn ACL, season-ending. Mostert knee, multi-week. Garoppolo high ankle sprain, multi-week. Dee Ford back spasm, day-to-day. Kinlaw working through the rotation. McKinnon back from his own three-year ACL absence as the offensive star. The kind of Sunday that, in real time, looked like a comfortable road win.
What it means
1-1 with the Giants at MetLife next week and a starting quarterback to replace, two starting defensive ends to replace, and a lead back to replace. Nick Mullens is the projected starter. The championship-defense season is now a different team's season.
