Things To Look For
Rumblings of head coach Ben McAdoo losing his job with the Giants if his team falls to the winless Niners? That’s already been put to rest and that has never been this organization’s style. In any case, is there any chance that Kyle Shanahan gives us a sneak peak of the team’s new toy in quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo? It’s not the most appealing of contests between two clubs that have won a total of one game this season. But you can expect both squad to play hard.
