Kevin O'Connell, Brian Flores and their reborn quarterback have a formula that can work. Also inside: Malik Nabers is the face of the Giants, Bryce Young on "timeout," 49ers bellyflop.
The 49ers are a bit of an enigma. For as much as their defense is hyped, there were times last year they looked rather soft (Fred Warner the obvious exception), and it's happening again. Brock Purdy gets a lot of the blame/questioning, but it wasn't his fault yesterday. That defense is getting paid a lot of money, it needs to be able to finish a game like that.
