The San Francisco 49ers defeated the New York Jets 32-19 in their season opener on Monday Night Football. Aaron Rodgers, playing his first full game as a Jet, threw for 167 yards and 2 touchdowns, but the Jets' defense struggled significantly. Jordan Mason led the 49ers' offense with 28 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown, filling in for the injured Christian McCaffrey. The 49ers' defense also performed well, limiting Rodgers and the Jets' offense. This win marked Rodgers' eighth career loss against the 49ers, making his record 6-8 against them. The 49ers scored on every drive after their first punt and did not turn the ball over. Leonard Floyd contributed to the defensive effort with a sack and a quarterback hit. Allen Lazard, a key target for Rodgers, caught 2 touchdowns. The Jets will look to bounce back in Week 2.
