Back to Reality

Niners fall to Giants 24-6, behind another lacklusting performance from the Offense.

The New York Giants' return to Candlestick Park featured few dramatics, no comebacks and certainly no collapses. Just another methodical victory for a team that's already thinking about a return to the playoffs.

Eli Manning passed for 251 yards and a touchdown, Brandon Jacobs rushed for two short fourth-quarter scores and the Giants' defense yielded only 138 total yards in a 24-6 victory against the San Francisco 49ers.

Plaxico Burress had five catches for 79 yards in the third straight victory for the Giants (6-2), who maintained their lead in the NFC East by suffocating the 49ers' offense, which hasn't scored a touchdown in its last 13 quarters at home.

Only 11 Giants are left from one of the club's most infamous postseason defeats, on Jan. 5, 2003, when San Francisco rallied from a 24-point deficit in the second half of a 39-38 wild-card victory.
