Inman: 10 Things that Caught My Eye in 49ers’ 20-9 Win over Panthers
San Francisco’s defense forced key turnovers including two interceptions by Ji’Ayir Brown while Jauan Jennings scored a touchdown contributing to the 20-9 win over Carolina.
- On Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Carolina Panthers 20-9 at Levi's Stadium, aided by Jauan Jennings' first-quarter touchdown and Matt Gay's 47-yard field goal.
- Brock Purdy committed three first-half interceptions, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said he did not consider benching him, and the defense limited the Panthers' takeaways to just three points.
- Safety Ji'Ayir Brown swung momentum by intercepting two Bryce Young passes after reading his eyes, building on 10 interceptions at Penn State and his NFL history.
- The win left the 49ers 8 and sets up a Sunday game at Cleveland against the Browns and rookie Shedeur Sanders before a Tuesday off, following the team's schedule.
- Protection metrics showed stability as Brock Purdy was not sacked Monday, and the 49ers have allowed just one sack over the past three games, highlighting depth.
