GIANTS WATCH FILM … AND WONDER AFTER LOSS TO 49ERS

Michael Eisen

Eli Manning threw five interceptions in Big Blue’s 16-10 to the San Francisco 49ers. But what Tom Coughlin and Manning focused their attention on was the four-down sequence from San Francisco’s four-yard line late in the fourth quarter. The Giants trailed by six points when Odell Beckham Jr.’s acrobatic catch with 5:04 left put them in a position to pull out the game.

GIANTS RUN DEFENSE PREPARATION QUESTIONED AFTER LOSS TO SEAHAWKS

Al Thompson

It seems like the Giants went to Seattle with a lot of ammunition they stockpiled during the week and for three quarters the weapons Big Blue tossed at the Seahawks was working.
Unfortunately Eli Manning and company ran out of stuff to throw at the healthier Seahawks at the end of the third quarter when the teams were tied 17-17.
Seattle scored 21 fourth quarter-points to win 38-17…a game that was much closer than the score showed.
