What did we learn from the 49ers' big win over the Giants in Week 3! šš„
With Brandon Aiyuk sidelined, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle stepped up in a big way. They didn't set the world on fire in the first two weeks, but they sure did in this game! Deebo Samuel started a bit slow but quickly ignited, making some incredible plays and racking up impressive yards after the catch. George Kittle caught 6 passes for 49 yards the first two games, but surpassed that Thursday with 7 for 90 dominating the Giants' defense. He also made a smart defensive play to prevent an interception.
On the flip side, the Giants' offense had a tough time. Losing Saquon Barkley didn't help, and they couldn't maintain the momentum from their previous comeback. The Giants are still figuring out how to utilize Darren Waller effectively, and it's a work in progress. Waller had three catches on six targets for 30 yards on a night when they badly needed to displace what they lost without Barkley.
Nick Bosa came to the party with some crucial sacks, showing that he's still a force to be reckoned with. On the Giantsā second drive, they were backed up inside their own 10. Bosa came flying in on Jones and nearly took him down for a safety, marked at the Giantsā 2-yard line.
Brock Purdy had a shaky start but settled in eventually. He didn't turn the ball over, despite fumbling once. He made some tight-window throws, and has done enough for his team to secure a 3-0 record.
