Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart directed the New York Giants to a touchdown on their opening drive, just as he had done in three of his first five NFL starts. However, that's where the San Francisco 49ers turned the tables and marched their way to a 34-24 victory at MetLife Stadium, dealing Dart his first home loss in three tries as a starter.
The Giants formally introduced Tony Vitello as the team's new manager Thursday, following his historic hire as the first college coach to directly become skipper of a Major League franchise.
Testing on Monday revealed a torn ACL for 49ers defensive lineman Mykel Williams, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, confirming what San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan feared when he spoke to reporters Sunday after his club's win over the New York Giants.
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.
A three-game skid to drop to 2-7 has made this another lost season for the New York Giants. Getting beat at home by San Francisco in a game that was more lopsided than the 34-24 score indicated has turned up the heat on coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen.
In a best-case scenario, this is the last time Giants fans will need to think about Tony Vitello and the next time will be in the playoffs.
