On the flip side, the Giants had zero punt return yards (Gunner Olszewski had one fair catch, and another punt was downed), and the kickoff returns, featuring Jalin Hyatt for his first-ever NFL special teams snaps, averaged 27.3 yards, as the 49ers beat the Giants in the field position battle.
Wan'Dale Robinson didn't hold back on the Giants' disappointing loss to the 49ers at home on Sunday afternoon.
This latest performance continues a troubling trend for a Giants defense that was supposed to be excellent. And while its secondary was shorthanded Sunday — no Cor’Dale Flott, Paulson Adebo or Jevon Holland — this was yet another underwhelming mess from coordinator Shane Bowen’s group.
Plane protests returned on Sunday and the New York Giants responded with an ugly defensive performance, falling, 34-24, to the San Francisco 49ers.
Last week, the 49ers barely managed 10 total plays before halftime against the Houston Texans. On Sunday, however, the team walked into MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and rolled over the New York Giants in a dominant 34-24 win to improve San Francisco’s record to 6-3. The Giants dropped to 2-7.
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.
The San Francisco 49ers continue to take hits to their front seven, as defensive end Mykel Williams suffered an injury on Sunday.
There were fans booing at times, and justifiably leaving early. That left the again all-too-familiar sight and sound of opposing fans, this time a sea of red-jersey clad 49ers fans, loudly celebrating their victory on the Giants’ home turf.
