On October 15, 2025, the San Francisco 49ers secured a crucial 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 7 matchup. The star of the game was 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who had his best rushing performance since 2023.

The 49ers' defense also played a key role, holding Falcons running back Bijan Robinson to just 40 rushing yards and 52 receiving yards, a far cry from his dominant performances in the first six weeks. Rookie guard Connor Colby also made a crucial play, batting around a deflected pass and securing it to set up a 55-yard field goal that put the 49ers up 10-3 at halftime.
