Heroes, zeros from Giants’ loss vs. 49ers


Hero, zeros and full blitz from the Giants’ 12-30 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Hero

Brock Purdy. The 49ers quarterback wasn’t prolific, but he was proficient. He made all the right reads, keeping his team in good position all night en route to completing 25 of 37 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns. He’s now 8-0 as an NFL starter in regular-season play.

Unsung Hero

Deebo Samuel. The Giants defense has no answer for the multitalented 49ers receiver, who caught six passes for 129 yards and a TD.

Key Number

78-46 The 49ers’ advantage on number of offensive plays run in the game.
