SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Christian McCaffrey scored a touchdown in his 12th straight game, Brock Purdy threw two TD passes and the San Francisco 49ers won their 13th straight regular season game, 30-12 over the New York Giants on Thursday night. The defense did the rest against the short-handed Giants (1-2), who fell behind by double digits at the half for the third time in three games this season. That matched Jerry Rice's franchise record with 12 straight games in the regular season or playoffs with a TD and is three shy of the NFL mark. They rallied to beat the Cardinals with a strong second half. Davidson (elbow) left in the second half.
