One of the San Francisco 49ers' top free agent signings was veteran pass rusher Leonard Floyd. In his first game in red and gold, Floyd got on the board with an impact play in the second half.

In a back-and-forth defensive battle from the start, Floyd ended a Jets drive with a sack against Aaron Rodgers. With Nick Bosa looming in the backfield, Floyd also blew by the Jets offensive line with a stunt up the middle to clean up Rodgers for a big loss on third down.

As a member of the Buffalo Bills last season, the nine-year veteran defensive end racked up 10.5 sacks.
