Giants aim to regroup as 49ers come to MetLife for Week 9 showdown | amNewYork
"Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart threw for 193 yards with two total touchdowns, but constant pressure led to five sacks and stalled drives. New York converted only four of 12 third-down attempts, and the offense lost one of its key playmakers when rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a dislocated ankle in the second quarter. He underwent emergency surgery on Sunday night, ending his season after just eight games in which he developed instantaneously into a fan favorite."
"Quarterback Brock Purdy remains questionable for Week 9 due to a toe injury, while wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk is out and Ricky Pearsall is questionable, limiting the 49ers' arsenal. Meanwhile, their defense has had its own issues with injuries to key players such as Fred Warner and Nick Bosa, contributing to recent struggles. They were handled semi-easily two weeks ago by CJ Stroud and the inconsistent Houston Texans' attack."
The New York Giants suffered a 38-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, exposing persistent offensive problems. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart threw for 193 yards and two total touchdowns, but the line allowed five sacks and drives stalled, with New York converting only four of 12 third-down attempts. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a dislocated ankle and underwent emergency surgery, ending his season. The San Francisco 49ers enter Week 9 at 5-3 despite injuries, with Brock Purdy questionable and Brandon Aiyuk out while Ricky Pearsall is questionable. Key defensive injuries include Fred Warner and Nick Bosa, but San Francisco limited the Falcons to 10 points.
