SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers spoiled Aaron Rodgers' comeback party with the New York Jets on Monday, beating the quarterback in his first game since tearing his left Achilles nearly one year ago.
The defending NFC champs opened up their season with a 32-19 win over the Jets, and they did it without star running back Christian McCaffrey -- who was surprisingly ruled out right before kickoff.
The 49ers were able to stifle Rodgers and the Jets, and dominate the time of possession -- 38:40 to 21:20.
