49ers avoid ‘panic lights’ with win over Jaguars, readying them for gauntlet to come

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy rolled out to his left and then released his pass right, directing it toward a trafficky middle of the end zone.

The ball sailed above tight end George Kittle’s head, inches from not one but two Jacksonville Jaguars defenders.

Niners receiver Brandon Aiyuk jumped and caught the ball for a touchdown as San Francisco took an early lead less than four minutes into the game.

The Jaguars would never even match that point total, the Niners steadily pulling away en route to a 34-3 win.
