Despite early struggles and big plays by the 49ers, the NY Football Giants were able to hang on to defeat San Francisco on Sunday afternoon, 29-17. Eli Manning led the Giants with 161 yards in the air as well as a touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress while throwing no interceptions. On the ground, it was once again all Brandon Jacobs as the emerging pro-bowl candidate carried the ball 17 times for 69 yards and two touchdowns.

For San Francisco, J.T. O’Sullivan continued to struggle against the Giants as he completed 16 of 28 for 256 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. The turnover margin was huge in this game, as the two picks from O’Sullivan, as well as a fumble by Frank Gore and another by O’Sullivan that resulted in a Safety that clinched the game for the Giants in the fourth quarter.

It almost seemed as though the Niners hung in this game despite themselves as they fumbled, threw interceptions and made bad decisions throughout – and still had a chance in the fourth quarter – only down by 10 late.

Regardless, the Giants pulled it out and upped their record to 5-1. This is the sort of wake up game that can be huge for a good team. They should be able to learn a lot from this, while still preserving the win. If you’re in Pittsburg this week grab some New York Giants tickets and watch them take on the Steelers.
