In addition to the video highlighting the moments of quarterback Purdy throwing the ball to wide receiver Deebo Samuel, this netizen observed, “Great flash takedown followed by a back shoulder drop from Brock Purdy. All around perfect football from the 49ers.”
“The 49ers offense kind of scares me ngl?,” said a fourth person recordedand a fifth with confidence insisted, “The 49ers are the best team in football. Let the cowboys come get them** beat week 5.” Even David Lombardi, a staff writer for The Atlantic for the 49ers, joined in on the conversation, flowing:
“Giants blitzed the 49ers on 33 of 39 drop backs — 85% (!!!) Brock Purdy vs. the blitz: 20-31, 247 yards, 2 TDs. This is a master class.”
He then followed up with an analysis, which read, “The 49ers dominated the team they were supposed to dominate. Predicted they would win by 18, they won by 18. Great team holding serve against worse competition. The next opportunity for SF is against an inferior Arizona team. Then Dallas showed up.”

Another NFL fan shared, “The only 3-0 team is the San Francisco 49ers so remember that,” and this cyber citizen pointed out“The 49ers magic number is 30 I see.”
Deebo Samuel Stepped In To Fill The Void Left By Brandon Aiyuk’s Absence

As for the game itself, ESPN noted that the 49ers had to work hard for their win amid a short week and the absence of injured receiver Brandon Aiyuk with a shoulder injury. Although the Giants were short-handed during their second West Coast game, the 49ers had no reason to apologize for another win, which happened for the second time in nearly two decades.
Even so, the win underscores Aiyuk’s importance to the Niners as the Giants, known for their aggressive approach since the start of 2022, continue to send extra rushers relentlessly at Purdy. This throw proved effective in the first half, creating pressure on the quarterback and leading to inaccurate passes.
The boom also forced Niners coach Kyle Shanahan to shift toward screens and pass rushes instead of his usual intermediate routes. Aiyuk’s absence is greatly felt in a situation like this.
The 25-year-old has excelled with 50 catches — tied for 8th in the National Football League — for 679 yards — tied for 9th — against man coverage since the start of last season. When it comes to man coverage with consistency and speed, no one on the team matches him.
Still, fellow wide receiver Samuel – with six catches for 129 yards and a touchdown, and tight end George Kittle – contributing seven receptions for 90 yards – stepped up impressively to fill the void in the second half. In addition, the Niners defense asserted its dominance, producing a solid performance against the Giants.
