The New York Giants were not ready to board the Nick Mullens express.
After the first-year San Francisco 49ers quarterback torched the Oakland Raiders in his first career start, New York handed him his first loss with a 27-23 victory on Monday at Levi's Stadium. The Giants snapped a five-game losing streak and improved to 2-7, while the 49ers fell to 2-8 in a contest that had more impact in the race for draft positioning than the playoff battle.
Eli Manning hit Sterling Shepard for the game-winning touchdown with less than a minute remaining and threw for 188 yards and three scores in the win, two of which went to Odell Beckham Jr.
