First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams testing each other's defenses. The Giants' quarterback Jaxson Dart completed several passes, achieving an impressive completion rate of 73 percent. His efforts led to two touchdowns throughout the game, showcasing his ability to find open receivers like Theo Johnson and Gunner Olszewski, who both contributed significantly with touchdown receptions.


Second Quarter


In contrast, San Francisco's offense was relentless. Their rushing attack proved effective as Jaxson Dart also contributed on ground plays for Big Blue but struggled to match up against a well-coordinated Niners defense. The G-Men's defense managed two sacks courtesy of Brian Burns and Rakeem Nunez-Roches Sr., but it wasn't enough to halt San Francisco's momentum.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, New York attempted to close the gap through strategic plays and solid defensive efforts from players like Bobby Okereke who recorded seven tackles and seven assists. However, penalties plagued their progress as they conceded five penalties totaling over twenty yards which hindered their comeback attempts.


Fourth Quarter


Despite their best efforts in the final quarter, including a successful field goal by Graham Gano from twenty-two yards out and consistent pressure from Dexter Lawrence on defense causing disruptions for SF’s offensive line; it was not sufficient for victory as time expired leaving fans pondering what could have been different in this matchup.
