Despite all of their injuries, the 49ers dominated the New York Giants on Sunday. Matt Maiocco breaks down big performances from Nick Mullens, Brandon Aiyuk and others in the 36-9 win.
Defensive linemen Ziggy Ansah and Dion Jordan, who joined the 49ers’ 53-man roster last week, got right into the action Sunday in the 49ers’ 36-9 victory over the New York Giants.
The 49ers rotated eight defensive linemen into the action in their Week 3 game. Ansah and Jordan suited up for their first games with the team to help the 49ers compensate for the season-ending losses of Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas. Both played more than 40 percent of the team’s defensive snaps.
Jordan was on the field for 22 of the 49ers’ 53 defensive plays, while Ansah played 21 snaps. Jordan was credited with two tackles, a sack, a fumble recovery and two quarterback pressures.
