Daniel Jones and the Giants are coming off a wild second-half comeback over Arizonain Week 2 that arguably saved their entire season, seeing as they had been outscored 60-0 in six quarters to open the season prior to the narrow win.

On the other side, Brock Purdy & Co. remain undefeated atop the NFC West after back-to-back wins to open their season. Both teams will be without a key offensive catalyst, as Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) are out due to injury.

San Fran doing what it does

On the very next play, McCaffrey ran in a 4-yard score.
