Overview
- The Giants lost 34-24 to the 49ers at MetLife, dropping their third straight game and falling to 2-7.
- New York has yielded 105 points across its past nine quarters and 33-plus in three straight, with Daboll signaling no immediate defensive staff changes.
- Rookie Jaxson Dart threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns, ran for 56 yards and another score, and was labeled the team’s leader, despite season-ending injuries to Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo.
- Daboll drew criticism for keeping Dart in late as the rookie absorbed a heavy hit, a decision he defended by citing timeouts and a chance for an onside kick.
- Dart noted a lopsided pro-49ers crowd at MetLife as OL Jon Runyan Jr. called the scene embarrassing, while analysts urged GM Joe Schoen to avoid buying at the deadline and protect draft capital.
