The banged-up San Francisco 49ers desperately need a get-right game after suffering an embarrassing loss at the hands of the Houston Texans in Week 8, and a scuffling two-win New York Giants team might present the perfect opportunity.
However, it might be an opportunity for No. 2 quarterback Mac Jones, not Brock Purdy, to get things right from under center.
Purdy hasn't seen the field since Week 4's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars where he aggravated a turf-toe injury suffered way back in the season opener in early September. As a result, the Niners' franchise signal-caller has played just two games this season, leading to plenty of conversation whether the front office was justified in handing him a $265 million extension earlier in the offseason.
