The game-changing moment occurred when Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs fumbled on the next play, allowing the 49ers to tie the game with McCaffrey’s 1-yard plunge.
Detroit had a strong start in the first half, taking a 14-0 lead with touchdowns from Jameson Williams and David Montgomery. McCaffrey’s 2-yard scoring run put the 49ers on the board, but the Lions responded with Gibbs’ 15-yard touchdown run, extending their lead to 24-7 at halftime.
