49ers return to winning ways coming off bye week: Winners, losers vs Raiders
The San Francisco 49ers returned to form with a decisive 38-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9, marking their first win since their bye week. The Niners dominated the game with a standout defensive effort, pressuring the Raiders into five turnovers and capping off the second half with three turnovers alone—including a 35-yard interception return touchdown by rookie Jaden Dugger.
Brock Purdy led the offense with 232 passing yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 40 yards and a score, extending his MVP-caliber season. Christian McCaffrey added to his historic streak, tying a Hall of Fame record with his seventh consecutive rushing touchdown, and contributed further with a receiving score.
The game also reunited key defensive stars Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckner, both returning after injuries and trades, as the 49ers extended their all-time series lead to 9-7 over the Raiders.
