Giants beat 49ers with late TD
It’s their second-highest profile player.
Those lengthy series had become more fruitful in the second half, but the Giants had to settle for Brown’s 24-yarder with 4:29 remaining for a 23-20 lead. “It’s something we can build off moving forward”, quarterback Colin Kaepernick said.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning turned in a throwback performance on Sunday night, one that stirred memories of the glory days and showed why he’s worth about $22 million a season.
But photographic evidence splashed on major websites across the country at least proves he was in the picture that time.
If not for the defense’s complete collapse in the fourth quarter against Eli Manning, the 49ers might be 2-3 right now. Although the Giants racked up 525 yards and 30 first downs, Dial said he felt like San Francisco’s defense has made steady improvements.
“No, I’m not going to say that”, he insisted.
The Arizona Cardinals rolled into White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia, on the heels of yet another blowout victory, staying in the East to prepare for Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh. “Real heartbreaker there, man. We can’t hang our heads”.
“I thought I played it pretty good”, Bowman said. The media likes to tell us that he was a pain to work with, and he didn’t get along with players and upper management. They took possession with 1:41 left and started the drive in an odd way, with Eli Manning picking up a first down with his legs. Getting tight ends Larry Donnell and Will Tye involved in the offense was critical for New York, especially after Randle and Beckham went down with injuries.
Jarryd Hayne impressed during limited opportunities for the San Francisco 49ers in their heartbreaking loss to the New York Giants on Monday afternoon AEST. But after the Niners needed only four plays to move from their 20 to the Giants 2, they took a 27-23 lead on Carlos Hyde’s two-yard run with 1:45 left in the game. “Battling back and being able to take the lead and then they come up with the late score to win is tough, but there were a lot of good things we did out there”. Their 69.8-yard per-game average was testimony to that. Hyde gained 93 yards on 21 carries, and quarterback Colin Kaepernick was 23-for-35 for 262 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
The Giants came close to extending their lead in the final seconds of the half, but Manning tried to force a pass to Beckham in the corner of the end zone, and it was picked off by safety Antoine Bethea for a touchback. He was placed on injured reserve last week, and tight end Larry Donnell believed that Fells was watching him from afar as he caught the game-winning touchdown in the back of the end zone with 26 seconds left against the 49ers.
-RUN DEFENSE: B. The 49ers outrushed the Giants 124-84, which was an upset in and of itself.
G Brandon Thomas was active for the first time this season, but saw no action in the 49ers’ loss to the New York Giants.
-SPECIAL TEAMS: B-plus. The club’s most consistent unit was good once again. He’s doing his job, making 43- and 22-yard field goals and each of his point-after kicks.
The Giants’ receivers have upset their fans all season, whether because of injury or butter fingers. Big mistake. When they went with better pass rushers Arik Armstead and Tank Carradine later in the drive, they got pressure on Manning. “… Simplified is not the right word, but they presented concepts that allowed him to throw the ball without having to read coverage or to go through progressions, and last night (Sunday night) he made the throws”.
