On a night when the offense found its stride for the first time since the season opener, the San Francisco 49ers defense could not hold up its end in crunch time.
Leading by four points with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the 49ers allowed the New York Giants to drive 82 yards for a game-winning touchdown on Sunday night. San Francisco (1-4) lost in heartwrenching fashion, 30-27, to drop its fourth consecutive game.
After a couple rough outings, Colin Kaepernick bounced back in a big way in the Big Apple by completing 23-of-35 passes for 262 yards, two touchdowns and a 107.
