Giants-49ers first-half open thread: Giants try for upset

Can the 0-2 New York Giants get their first victory of the season on Sunday when they host the 1-1 San Francisco 49ers at MetLife Stadium (1 p.m. ET/FOX)?

“I think a team will win when it executes on the field for 60 minutes the way it needs to. To kind of sum that up, you can summarize that and say ‘when you’re ready, you execute for 60 minutes,’ “ Giants coach Joe Judge said during the week. “But I’m pleased with the improvement I’m seeing from our team. We just need to string it together on the field and let these guys go ahead and get some tangible results for the work they’re putting in.”

The Giants are 3.5-point underdogs against the defending NFC champions, who will be without several key players.
