A capsule look at the Giants’ 27-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday:
Key Performance
One week after booming a critical punt late against New England, Steve Weatherford drew Tom Coughlin’s ire for shanking a 29-yarder at the end of the third quarter. That gave the 49ers excellent field position, and they quickly took advantage, scoring three plays into the final quarter to take the lead for good.
Notable Number: 9
The Giants held the ball for nine more minutes than the 49ers, but they could not take advantage. The Giants also recorded 95 more yards of offense than San Francisco but were hurt by untimely mistakes and an inability to finish long drives in the first half.
Talking Point
After another week without a 100-yard rusher (Brandon Jacobs led the Giants with 55 yards on 18 carries), are the Giants too reliant on Eli Manning’s late magic to lead them to victory?
