San Francisco 49ers vs New York Jets team news & key players

San Francisco 49ers team news

The positive news is that the 49ers are bringing back nearly the same roster this year, and they’re widely seen as strong favorites to go all the way.

Brock Purdy had a sensational 2023 campaign. The 24-year-old quarterback showcased his skills in the preseason and racked up 4,280 passing yards last year, boasting an impressive 31:11 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Interestingly, he’s yet to face the Jets in his career. On the ground, San Francisco boasts one of the league's top running backs, Christian McCaffrey. The 28-year-old led the NFL in rushing with 1,459 yards on a robust 5.4 yards per carry last season. The receiving corps is stacked too. Star wideout Deebo Samuel remains a key weapon, though rumors swirl about his potential exit after Brandon Aiyuk secured a major contract extension last week. Aiyuk, fresh off a stellar 2023 season where he posted 1,342 receiving yards, will be a focal point. McCaffrey, however, is questionable for this game due to a calf/hamstring strain.

Defensively, the 49ers were elite last season, though they made the surprising decision to part ways with defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. Still, they’re loaded with talent, including one of the best linebackers in the game, Fred Warner, and pass-rushing force Nick Bosa, who tallied 10.5 sacks last season.

New York Jets team news

The Jets are pinning a lot of their hopes on the return of Aaron Rodgers, but he's got some firepower around him, including Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. Adding to the mix is a defense that's widely considered a top-five unit heading into this clash.

Pundits are quick to point out the "ifs" surrounding New York, and they aren't exactly wrong. The Jets are certainly a team built on potential, but if all the pieces fall into place, they could become serious contenders in the AFC.

The ground game, anchored by Breece Hall, is solid. The 23-year-old running back had a breakout campaign last year, amassing 994 rushing yards while averaging 4.5 yards per carry. In the air, Garrett Wilson stands out in the receiving corps. The 24-year-old wideout has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in both of his NFL seasons, including 1,042 yards last year. Additionally, veteran receiver Mike Williams is back in the fold after recovering from a knee injury, adding another weapon to the offense.

On defense, the Jets are poised to be one of the league’s top units. C.J. Mosley, the team’s tackle leader, returns to bolster the front seven, while the secondary is anchored by the elite cornerback Sauce Gardner. With 12 pass breakups last season, Gardner is expected to line up against Brandon Aiyuk in this matchup.
