The 49ers easily handled business again on Sunday, the second of a two-game stretch at the Meadowlands MetLife Stadium, by beating the Giants 36-9. And they did it mostly with back-ups at key positions, including Nick Mullens at quarterback, Ross Dwelley at tight end, and Jeff Wilson at running back in the second half.
They may have also lost another asset, tight end Jordan Reed, another casualty of the newly installed and sticky turf. Nonetheless, the 49ers get back home with a 2-1 record and prepare for a less than stellar Eagles team.
