The San Francisco 49ers are simply unstoppable, beating down the New York Giants in a 27-20 victory
The Niners move to 8-1 and hold a commanding lead in the NFL West. This victory came without the help of star running back, Frank Gore, who went down with a knee injury. Gore’s five-game 100 yard rushing streak may have ended this game, but the 49ers are still rolling. This was a major victory for San Francisco and proved that their season hasn’t been some miraculous fluke. Newsflash haters: the Niners are here to stay! Offensive help came from David Akers who kicked four field goals to help San Francisco stay on top. Akers had three first half field goals from 36, 52 and 39 yards. Neither team had many rushing yards, the Giants with a total of 93 and the Niners total of 77. The Niners defense intercepted Eli Manning twice, and this marked its 31st consecutive game without allowing a 100-yard rusher. With Gore out of the picture, quarter back Alex Smith went to work, completing 19 of 30 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown. He connected with at least four different receivers at three completions a piece, including game leading receiver Delanie Walker who had six receptions for 69 yards. Next week the 49ers take on the Arizona Cardinals at the Stick. Can’t wait! ..I’ll be there watching!
