San Francisco 49ers Defense Could Continue Sack Party
6 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers defense came alive in Week 9, registering eight sacks and allowing only three points against the lowly Oakland Raiders. The team hosts the inept New York Giants in Week 10 and remain on the streaming radar. The Giants offensive line has surrendered 31 sacks to statue-like quarterback Eli Manning and rank seventh-worst in pass protection. The G-Men have struggled to score this season, posting 20 or fewer points in six of eight contests. If the Niners offense keeps humming under quarterback Nick Mullens, the defense could put the pressure on the scuffling passing game and place Manning in undesirable situations.
