The New York Giants play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a battle of teams missing multiple star players on both sides of the ball.
The Giants' 34-24 loss against the 49ers on Sunday wasn’t particularly unique for a team that now stands at 2-7. But one thing did stand out at MetLife Stadium: The almost fully packed crowd comprised about 40% San Francisco fans.
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.
Mac Jones, Christian McCaffrey and the Niners made winning look easy against the Giants. It won’t always work that way.
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.
The San Francisco 49ers continue to take hits to their front seven, as defensive end Mykel Williams suffered an injury on Sunday.
