White was terrific in his fourth NFL start

Trey Lance’s season-ending fractured ankle. The trade for running back Christian McCaffrey has given Coach Kyle Shanahan an overabundance of run-after-the-catch playmakers, with a lineup that also includes tight end George Kittle and wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

The 49ers led the league in total defense entering Sunday’s play and then held the Saints to 260 yards of total offense and no points. The Niners didn’t have a huge day on offense but went without a turnover. If Garoppolo avoids major mistakes and simply makes the easy throws to the talented players around him, the 49ers will be exceedingly difficult to beat.

Benching Zach Wilson worked wonders for the Jets. Mike , throwing telegram database for 315 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets beat the Chicago Bears, 31-10, in East Rutherford, N.J.

White completed 22 of 28 throws and had a passer rating of 149.3, not that far from a perfect 158.3 mark. It could not have worked out much better for Coach Robert Saleh and the Jets after Saleh made the decision last week to sit Wilson, the second selection in last year’s NFL draft. Saleh said the Jets are not giving up on Wilson after only 20 NFL starts. But White immediately provided the sort of production at quarterback that could help the Jets not only reach the postseason, but perhaps be a threat in the playoffs. They improved their record to 7-4.

It helped, of course, that the Bears were basically noncompetitive. Quarterback Justin Fields was on the inactive list because of his injured left (non-throwing) shoulder. Trevor Siemian started in Fields’s place, but only after suffering an injury to an oblique muscle during pregame warm-ups that led the Bears to say temporarily that Nathan Peterman would get the start — before going back to Siemian.
