The New York Giants didn't just lose to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon. They lost the majority of the crowd at MetLife Stadium by the end of the 34-24 loss.

Christian McCaffrey caught a touchdown pass from Mac Jones, rushed for another score and the San Francisco 49ers got back on track by running all over the New York Giants on the way to a 34-24 victory.

Since the injury avalanche hit the 49ers have managed to keep their heads above water and not suffer any bad losses. After losing in Week 8 to the Houston Texans on the road, the spotlight gets a little brighter for a group that has been pushed into bigger roles with a handful of injuries for San Francisco on both sides of the ball.

The former NFL Offensive Player of the Year accounted for 173 yards of total offense (106 rushing, 67 receiving) and two total touchdowns to carry the 49ers to their NFC West-leading sixth win of the season and make a bit of NFL history in the process.

The 49ers on Sunday scored 20 unanswered points after Dart and Co. got a touchdown on the opening drive. The Giants never got closer than 10 for the remainder of the game, as San Francisco scored touchdowns on its first two fourth-quarter drives, to go up 27-10 and then 34-17.

On the 49ers’ first possession, Jones had six completions for 47 yards and one touchdown on a 12-play, 68-yard drive. Jones threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey as San Francisco tied the game at 7-7 with 4:16 left in the first quarter.
