“That s–t is bad, man,” Giants defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux said. “That s- -t is real bad. Everybody has to do a better job. That s- -t is unacceptable.” Thibodeaux was speaking about a defense that has allowed 33, 38 and 34 points in the past three games.

Let's be clear: Jones has done decent since he took over as the starter. He is one of the key reasons why the 49ers now have a 6-3 record. His record is now 5-2. But his performance against the Giants represented a massive step up in his game. It came at the perfect time, and the three-win cushion takes some pressure off.
Logan Webb and Patrick Bailey are about as good as franchise cornerstones could get for a Giants team looking to win big.
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.
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.
Mac Jones, Christian McCaffrey and the Niners made winning look easy against the Giants. It won’t always work that way.
