The San Francisco 49ers beat the Oakland Raiders 34-3 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara in what was billed as the final Battle of the Bay. San Francisco improved to 2-7 on the season.

Below is a mix of key player and team stats provided by the NFL, the 49ers, and Pro Football Focus.

Key Player Statistics


Nick Mullens

Quarterback Nick Mullens completed 16-of-22 (72.7 percent) passes for 262 yards with three touchdowns and a passer rating of 151.9. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Mullens is the first player to throw for two-or-more touchdowns in his 49ers debut.


Mullens became the first Niner to throw three-or-more touchdowns in a game since Colin Kaepernick had three on November 27, 2016, against the Miami Dolphins.

Mullens engineered a six-play, 75-yard drive that resulted in a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Pierre Garçon on the team's opening drive. He was 3-of-3 for 41 yards, including his first career touchdown pass.

Mullens tied the franchise record for the most touchdown passes by a player in his first 49ers start with three (Tim Rattay vs. StL — 11/2/03, Ty Detmer vs. Car — 11/8/98, Matt Cavanaugh at Phi — 9/23/84). He also set the franchise record for the highest passer rating (minimum 10 attempts) in his first start with the team (151.9) and ranks third for the most passing yards (262).

Mullens' 151.9 passer rating was the highest in a single-game by a 49ers quarterback since October 29, 2012, against the Arizona Cardinals (Alex Smith – 157.1). His average of 11.9 yards per attempt was the highest by a 49ers quarterback in a single-game since October 18, 2015, against the Baltimore Ravens (Colin Kaepernick – 12.9 yards per attempt).

Mullens was under pressure on just three of his 22 dropbacks, according to Pro Football Focus, and completed two of those three pass attempts for 86 yards.


George Kittle

Tight end George Kittle caught four passes for 108 yards with a touchdown. It was his second 100-yard game of the season (125 yards at LAC) and third of his career.

With his 71-yard reception, along with his 82-yard touchdown reception against the Chargers, Kittle is the first tight end in the NFL to have two receptions of 70-or-more yards in a single season since 1972 (Rich Caster, NYJ).

Kittle ended the game with the team's highest Pro Football Focus grade (93.0). His 490 receiving yards after the catch is 190 more than the next tight end (Travis Kelce, KC).

Defensive lineman DeForest Buckner brought down Raiders quarterback Derek Carr for a 5-yard sack. He now has 5.5 sacks on the season and 14.5 for his career.
