Giants Can’t Match Might of Powerful 49ers
It looks like it is going to be a long season for the New York Giants. Big Blue’s offense was again stagnant against, and couldn’t measure up against one of the best teams in the NFL, falling to the San Francisco 49ers 30-12 in Santa Clara, Thursday night.
Without Saquon Barkley in the lineup, the Giants ran for only 29 yards. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones struggled to find open receivers to throw to; he finished the night with 137 yards passing, two sacks, and a pick.
Moreover, the loss to San Francisco marked the third straight game in which the Giants failed to score a touchdown in the first half. Big Blue managed to connect on only a pair of field goals, trailing San Fran 17-6 into the break.
The Giants have now been outscored by a whopping 63-6 in the first half of games this season.
There were a number of missed opportunities for the Giants. Big Blue was able to cut the deficit to five points, 17-12 in the third quarter when Matt Breida scored on an eight-yard run as the Giants took advantage of a huge pass interference penalty. But, it wasn’t enough. The Niners quickly answered with a field goal on their ensuing possession.
Niners Keep Clicking:
On the flip side, the 49ers continue to look like a team poised for a deep playoff run later this coming winter.
Niners quarterback Brock Purdy looked the part of an MVP candidate yet again, tossing for 310 yards and two scores. His 27-yard strike to Deebo Samuel in tight single coverage on a go-route toward the end zone was picture-perfect and put the game away at 30-12.
Meanwhile, Christian McCaffery churned his way to 85 yards rushing including scoring untouched from four yards out to close out the first half scoring.
Next Week:
The Giants get to enjoy a much-needed mini-bye week. They will not play again until October 2 when they welcome the Seattle Seahawks into MetLife Stadium.

Not only is this item unique in the fact that you could hang it in your entryway, garage, or even man cave, but it’s a great item to keep all your essentials in one place. It has a sliding door to protect all your items and is an attractive-looking decoration for any Giants fan.
New York Giants New Era Throwback Long Sleeve Hoodie
I love everything about this long sleeve hoodie. Aside from the royal blue making the Giants logo pop, it has a drawstring hood to cover your head on the colder days and is perfect for both men and women.
NFL Hooded Face Cover
I know it seems a bit extreme but if you’ve braved the cold weather like I have a handful of times you’ve probably already added this to your cart. A hooded face cover is the perfect gift for any Giants fan in your life because it could possibly be the one thing that saves the day. It’s also a great item to pack when you plan a vacation for an away game this season.
Steel Tailgater BBQ Set
If this doesn’t scream football and New York Giants, I don’t know what does. If you’re heading to the stadium to grill some hotdogs and hamburgers this tailgater BBQ set is a must. It includes 8 pieces of heavy-duty stainless-steel tools. Your grill master will be thrilled and your stomach will thank you for it.
Wood NFL Cornhole Set
When the sun is still shining, and the warm temperatures are still here you might want to consider throwing a party at your home to kick off the season. This cornhole set is perfect for any backyard and yes of course on those tailgating days too. If you’re looking for some friendly competition this is the perfect purchase for you.
Ziploc Slider Storage Bags
You might be thinking why would I need these storage bags? Hear me out. It’s never a bad idea to pack Ziploc bags with you. These storage bags have the Giants logo right on them and are a decent size. I personally would even use them to bring some cash and perhaps my lip gloss into the stadium (depending on if you’re abiding by the clear bag policy).
NFL Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
A wireless speaker is a must during football season. While you can always play music at your tailgate or house party, you can also air the pre-game show in support of the New York Giants. Not only is it portable and lightweight but it’s the perfect outdoor speaker that has over a 30-foot range.
New York Giants Sweatshirt
Now, who doesn’t love a good ole classic hoodie? We selected this as a New York Giants Must Have because it not only looks comfortable but also is available in several colors such as black, royal blue, and sports gray.
NFL Women’s Soft Fleece Hoodie
No matter what the occasion is it’s always a good choice to have a soft fleece hooded sweatshirt in your closet. It can get chilly during football season but it’s also a nice item to have when you want to lounge around as well. This hoodie in particular has a classic look to it but most importantly showcases the Giants logo front and center.
New York Giants Pint Glasses
In my opinion, there’s no talking you out of purchasing a pint glass in general but especially if it’s customized with the New York Giants logo. You can use them at home or bring them to your tailgate. Plus, you can use it all year round whether your team is playing or not.
