The return of tight end George Kittle has done wonders for the 49ers run game, and they should look to ride Christian McCaffrey on Sunday against the Giants front. San Francisco wins when it controls the pace of the game, and Kyle Shanahan should look to have a physical approach up front for the 49ers.
The San Francisco 49ers needed a win over the New York Giants in Week 9, and they came up with a strong outing in a victory. Here are the highlights.
