The New York Giants fell to 1-2 after their 30-12 Thursday Night Football loss in Santa Clara, California, against the 49ers. The Giants had several injuries on the offensive side of the football, and only mustered 150 yards of total offense, while San Francisco recorded 441 yards on offense.
Typically, with yardage totals that vast for the 49ers, positive defensive observations seem scarce. There was one name, though, that announcers Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit kept praising, and that is the name of Micah McFadden.
The second-year linebacker out of Indiana recorded ten tackles, four for a loss, and a pass deflection away from running back Christian McCaffrey that saved a touchdown.
