Atlanta Falcons vs San Francisco 49ers Game Highlights | 2025 NFL Season Week 7
The San Francisco 49ers, despite being short-handed, leaned on a colossal performance from running back Christian McCaffrey to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 20-10 in a prime-time Week 7 showdown at Levi's Stadium.
McCaffrey was the undisputed difference-maker, racking up over 200 yards from scrimmage (129 rushing, 72 receiving) and scoring two crucial rushing touchdowns. His dominant effort helped the 49ers' offense establish a strong ground game that had been missing in previous weeks, securing their fifth win of the season.
The Falcons' offense struggled for consistency against a stout 49ers defense, which made key plays even without stars like Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. Defensive end Bryce Huff and a secondary play by Chase Lucas sealed critical fourth-quarter stops. Atlanta quarterback Michael Penix Jr. threw for 241 yards but was pressured heavily, and star running back Bijan Robinson was held to 40 rushing yards, though he did catch the Falcons' only touchdown.
Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts added 62 yards on 7 receptions, but crucial mistakes, including a strip-sack by Bryce Huff leading to a 49ers field goal by Eddy Pineiro and a late "too many men on the field" penalty by the Atlanta defense, proved costly. Head coach Kyle Shanahan's 49ers secured the home victory, moving to 5-2, while Raheem Morris's Falcons fell to 3-3.
