Misery Index · Meh
49ers fans toasting a 34-24 win and Pineiro's leg while counting injured bodies and cursing the MetLife turf.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Thirty-plus on the road with M.Jones finding J.Jennings for a score and C.McCaffrey chipping in another, plus B.Robinson finally looking like himself on the ground — the kind of complete afternoon that quiets a fanbase still bracing for the other shoe. B.Burns' strip-sack swung briefly the wrong way, but it never really threatened the outcome. At 6-3, the coaching is doing heavy lifting; whether the roster holds up long enough to matter is the only question left.
