We’ve discussed the 49ers defensive improvements week over week. Each week they’ve met the challenge for the most part. There’s been some obvious lapses in crunch time, but all in all we see a unit playing together and growing. Versus the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, and Kirk Cousins the defense stood tall. While the outcome of those games didn’t fall in our favor, there were some positives to take away.
This week they face another challenge in rookie running back Saquon Barkley. Regardless of the Giants overall performance, Barkley is having an outstanding season.
