Overview
- New York lost 34-24 to the 49ers at MetLife Stadium, its third straight defeat to drop to 2-7.
- Rookie Jaxson Dart went 24-for-33 for 191 yards and two touchdowns with 56 rushing yards and a score, took heavy contact, and remained in late, drawing player-safety concerns despite season-ending losses of Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo.
- Brian Daboll said he kept Dart in because the game was within 10 points with timeouts remaining and signaled no immediate changes to his defensive coaching staff.
- The defense surrendered 159 rushing yards and 380 total yards to an injury-depleted San Francisco lineup and has been undermined by missed tackles and an injury-hit secondary.
- With the deadline approaching Tuesday, analysts including The Athletic advise against buying, as pressure mounts on Daboll and GM Joe Schoen over results and roster direction.
