It looked like the 49ers might steal their second win of the season in the Meadowlands before they snatched defeated from the jaws of victory. Where did things break down on that final drive?
When Phil Dawson tacked on the extra point following Carlos Hyde’s two-yard touchdown run with 1:49 to play, the San Francisco 49ers had a 94.8 percent probability of leaving the Meadowlands with an upset victory and some hope of righting the ship after three straight losses. Of course, that’s not what happened. Eric Mangini’s defense allowed Eli Manning & Co. to traverse 82 yards in 84 seconds to score the game-winning touchdown and send the 49ers to 1–4 on the season.
