EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The opportunities were there for the New York Giants to make plays last Thursday night. Third-and-longs, deflected passes, dangerous throws into traffic by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy: It was all on the table in the first half of that 30-12 loss.
They just didn’t take advantage. They haven’t taken advantage this season.
The Giants (1-2) have yet to force a turnover and have just two sacks in three games. They haven’t been good against the run (29th) or stopping the opposition on third downs (28th).
