The New York Giants (2-6) host the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in a battle between two teams dealing with an abundance of injuries.
Both squads will limp into the game, which features rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart back at home, where he remains undefeated. He will be facing a very thin 49ers squad whose secondary appears ripe for the picking.
It will be a beautiful day in the Meadowlands, where temperatures are expected to rise above 60 degrees, accompanied by light winds.

The Giants were victimized by several bad calls or no calls in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, and that trend continued against the 49ers on Sunday.

On a fourth-and-1 in Giants territory, the 49ers opted to go for it and committed an obvious false start. It went uncalled, and they picked up the first down, only to commit another false start later on the drive. That, too, went uncalled.
Aided by those two freebies, San Francisco capped off a 12-play, 68-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mac Jones to a wide-open running back Christian McCaffrey.
Giants 7, 49ers 7
Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart started hot again on Sunday, orchestrating a 10-play, 64-yard touchdown drive capped off by a 15-yard pass to tight end Theo Johnson for the score.
Giants 7, 49ers 0
On the opening kickoff of the game, wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, who was inactive in Week 8, lined up as a kick returner next to Gunner Olszewski.
The 49ers won the toss and opted to defer. The Giants will receive the opening kickoff and start on offense. San Francisco will field the second half kickoff.
For the first time this season, a banner has been flown over MetLife Stadium ahead of kickoff. This time, the protest banner read, “Mr. Mara, enough is enough. Clean house!”
Bobby Skinner of the Giants Nation Show podcast also flew a banner over the stadium on Sunday, reading, “Mr. Mara, get well soon & watch Giants Nation Show.”
