SANTA CLARA -- Bilal Powell scored on a 19-yard touchdown run with 8:35 left in overtime, lifting the New York Jets to a 23-17 victory against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Sunday.
The Jets (4-9) trailed 17-3 entering the second half but scored 20 unanswered points to end their four-game losing streak and hand San Francisco (1-12) its 12th straight loss, an ongoing franchise record.
Powell, who played most of the game after starter Matt Forte suffered a first-quarter knee injury, rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries.
Jets second-year quarterback Bryce Petty made his second career start and completed 23 of 35 passes for 257 yards.

New York kicker Nick Folk connected from 30 yards with 6:28 left in the third quarter, cutting San Francisco's lead to 17-6. Then, with 5:04 remaining, Powell scored on a 5-yard run, capping a 15-play, 66-yard drive. Petty ran for two points, making it 17-14.
After forcing a punt, the Jets took over on their 35 with 2:35 left. They marched to the 49ers' 32 and Folk kicked a 50-yard field goal as the Jets pulled even with 38 seconds left in regulation.
San Francisco took the opening kick in overtime, but Hyde was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1 at the Jets' 36.
Three plays later, Petty hit Robby Anderson for 26 yards to the 49ers' 25. On third-and-4 from the 19, Powell took it the rest of the way.
Rookie defensive lineman DeForest Buckner had two sacks for the 49ers and cornerback Jimmie Ward had an interception, setting up San Francisco's first touchdown.
The 49ers took control early, building a 17-3 halftime lead as they outgained the Jets 279-118.
On the game's second play from scrimmage, Ward cut in front of Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa along the right sideline and intercepted Petty's pass.
