OFFENSE: D
The one landing got here on a 37-yard drive aided by a 22-yard go interference penalty. Aside from that, there was not a lot occurring. The Giants totaled solely 10 first downs and 150 whole yards and had been 3-for-12 on third downs. With Saquon Barkley (and left sort out Andrew Thomas) out, they totaled 11 rushes for 29 yards. Even Daniel Jones didn’t do his ordinary factor on the bottom, speeding twice for 5 yards. Jones threw for 137 yards, and no receiver totaled greater than 32 yards. Jones overthrew an open Darren Waller on a key third down within the fourth quarter.
DEFENSE: D
The Giants failed miserably in getting the 49ers off the sector, permitting them to transform seven of their first 9 third-down makes an attempt – a number of of them third-and-long conditions – and gave up 441 whole yards and 26 first downs. Essentially the most damning stat for the protection was that the 49ers stored the ball for 39:10 in comparison with the Giants’ 20:50. Deebo Samuel caught six passes for 129 yards, George Kittle caught seven for 90 and Christian McCaffrey rushed 18 instances for 85 yards. All three of them made the Giants look dangerous with an array of missed tackles.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B
Punter Jamie Gillan had a giant day, with a 49.0-yard web common on his six kicks, with one contained in the 20-yard line and a 60-yarder. Graham Gano was 2-for-2 on field-goal tries, making kicks from 57 and 44 yards. All 4 of Gano’s kickoffs went for touchbacks.
COACHING: D
The ultimate rating and statistics had been lopsided, however for a lot of the night time the Giants battled the highly effective 49ers and located a approach to keep within the recreation. The offensive employees was not capable of finding a workaround to Saquon Barkley’s absence, because the working assault bought nothing carried out. The passing recreation was not a lot, both. However the Giants did present spirit and didn’t go down with out a combat. There have been a number of damaging, premature penalties, some questionable, others apparent. Total: Not good.
