Tom Rathman Jersey

SANTA CLARA Tom Rathman Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Eli Manning showed he still has what it takes to lead the kind of game-winning drive that earned him two Super Bowl MVP awards.Manning capped a 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard with 53 seconds left and the New York Giants snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the San Francisco 49ers 27-23 on Monday night.“It doesn’t get old,” said Manning, whose 36 game-winning drives are the third most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2004. “It’s fun. It’s fun playing in those games and having a two-minute drive to win it. Those are the situations you want to be in. You want to have a chance.”The Giants (2-7) have failed to capitalize on those late-game situations this season, losing five games by seven or fewer points as part of a disappointing stretch that has put the 37-year-old Manning’s status as starting quarterback in question.But Manning delivered against the 49ers (2-8) to give New York a much-needed win.“That’s what Eli is really good at, engineering those come-from-behind drives,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “That was terrific. He hung in there and made some really good throws and got us into the end zone. That’s the sign of a good quarterback.”Manning threw two TD passes to Odell Beckham Jr. and then engineered the late game-winning drive with help from a pair of third-down penalties against Malcolm Smith and Ahkello Witherspoon.Saquon Barkley then had a 23-yard catch to get the ball into the red zone and Manning connected with Shepard on third down to give the Giants the win.“I just saw man-to-man coverage,” Shepard said. “That’s something we’ve been practicing. I was able to capture the outside edge and Eli put the ball in a perfect place.”Matt Breida ran for 101 yards and scored two touchdowns for the 49ers (2-8), who were unable to win consecutive games under third-string quarterback Nick Mullens. Breida’s 23-yard run helped set up a 30-yard field goal by Robbie Gould that gave the Niners a 23-20 lead with 2:46 to play.But the 49ers allowed the go-ahead score and couldn’t pull it out at the end as Mullens’ pass from the Giants 21 sailed out of the end zone on the final play.“Those are the plays you have to make to finish the game,” Mullens said. “That was a moment of truth, and I didn’t get the job done. I have to play better in those moments of truth. We all have to play better.”Mullens wasn’t nearly as sharp as he was in his NFL debut against the Raiders on Nov. 1 when he joined Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton as the only players with at least 250 yards passing, three touchdown passes and no interceptions in the first career game.Mullens threw for 250 yards and had an 11-yard TD pass to Breida that made it 20-10 early in the third quarter. But Mullens also threw two interceptions with the first setting up a 10-yard TD pass from Manning to Beckham .Those two connected again on a 20-yard score in the third quarter as New York rallied from 10 points down to tie the game in the second half.HARD HITNiners receiver Marquise Goodwin was hit in the helmet by Alec Ogletree on a catch late in the third quarter and briefly left the game. On his first play back in to start the fourth quarter Patrick Willis Jersey , a pass from Mullens deflected off Goodwin’s hands for the second interception of the game by B.J. Goodson . Goodwin was slow to get up after that play and went back into the medical tent for observation. Goodwin returned to the game later in the fourth quarter.BAD REACTIONWitherspoon got beat on Beckham’s second TD catch and immediately threw his hands up in disgust because he didn’t get the safety help he expected from Antone Exum. Teammate Richard Sherman and coaches talked to Witherspoon on the sideline to tell him not to show up a teammate.“Man up. Don’t put that on tape,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “We’ll deal with that when we come in.”CENTURY MARKBarkley rans for 67 yards and added 33 receiving to join Eric Dickerson as the only players since the merger to gain at least 100 yards from scrimmage in eight of their first nine career games.MISSED OPPORTUNITYThe Giants entered the game converting just 40 percent of their red zone trips into TDs. They missed a golden opportunity for one late in the first half. On a third down from the 3, the 49ers left Beckham unguarded in the slot but Manning stuck with a run play to Barkley that gained only 1 yard. New York settled for a field goal that tied the game at 10.PLAYING FOR PARADISENiners GM John Lynch welcomed the high school football team from Paradise, a town destroyed by the wildfires in Butte County, about 175 miles north. Players and cheerleaders from the school were on the field for the national anthem. The Niners raised more than $100,000 to support relief and recovery efforts.The air quality for the game was at an unhealthy level because of the fires. The Air Quality Index was at 161 at kickoff, which is in the unhealthy zone, and smoke could be smelled throughout the stadium. The NFL had monitored the situation but the AQI never got near 200, the level where the game would have needed to be moved.UP NEXTGiants: Host Tampa Bay on Sunday.49ers: Visit Tampa Bay on Nov. 25.

PDTShareTweetShareShareBuccaneers release DT Gerald McCoyNews came out Monday evening that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released defensive tackle Gerald McCoy. The release was less about production and more about payment as McCoy was due a $13 million salary. If cut before June 1st, the Buccaneers would have no dead money. So now the question: Should the San Francisco 49ers go after him? The defensive line on its own is Dee Ford Jerry Rice Jersey , DeForest Buckner, Solomon Thomas and Nick Bosa. One of those pieces is not like the others, meaning Solomon Thomas. When talking about bringingMcCoy in, it stands to once again state that Thomas has been disappointing, not a bust. There was some speculation the 49ers may move on and draft Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams in the 2019 NFL Draft but they took Bosa instead which all but stated one more year for Thomas. McCoy’s best season was in 2013. He played a full 16 games (his last season to do so), notched 9.5 sacks, one fumble recovery, and 35 solo tackles. Since 2013 he’s had a slight decay in stats, but still maintained solid production. In 2016, he totaled seven sacks and two fumbles recovered (that he forced). 2017 and 2018 gave him six sacks apiece. While McCoy’s numbers have gone down, he still can offer solid production. Maybe the 49ers could bring him in and at worst Terrell Owens Jersey , rotate him alongside Solomon Thomas. Depending on the market, maybe there could be some contract wizardry that could keep him around if he outplays Thomas or Thomas shows there’s no room for improvement. If Thomas does, the 49ers have a solid three-man defensive tackle rotation and can make some decisions in the offseason. The problem with that above scenario is playing time. McCoy will want to go somewhere he can start and he’s good enough for a team to let him do that. If he beats Solomon Thomas out in training camp, what happens to Thomas? Is he officially a backup? Thomas could be solid depth for Buckner and McCoy in this situation and if the injury bug hits, the 49ers wouldn’t be near as devastated. The three-man rotation is still a pipe dream. A one-year prove-it deal in order to see who to keep at the end of the season is out of the question also. At least at this point. McCoy will want one more payday given his age (31 years) and he has the numbers that someone would be willing to do so. So if the 49ers get him, it’s a long-term thing. He’d want money and to start—meaning it’s would be an admission that Thomas is not going to get where the 49ers want him. All things considered, the 49ers could wait this thing out and see what the market offers him. Maybe the rest of the NFL doesn’t want a defensive tackle whose production has slowly gone down over the years. If a month or two go by, the 49ers have leverage and can offer him a nice deal for a year to give some competition to Thomas and other defensive linemen looking for playing time with no guarantees of how long he’d be on the field. How would you look into Gerald McCoy? Would you say enough with Solomon Thomas and move McCoy in as the starting DT alongside DeForest Buckner immediately? Wait a bit to see if you can offer less money and get the both of them (McCoy and Thomas) to compete and see what you have in a season? Or do you stay away from McCoy? Far away?
