Two planes carrying banners aimed at getting owner John Mara’s attention flew over MetLife Stadium prior to Sunday’s Giants-49ers game.
As Giants co-owner John Mara battles cancer, a supportive airplane banner flew over MetLife Stadium’s parking lots before Sunday’s game against the 49ers. The banner read: “MR. MARA GET WELL SOON & WATCH GIANTS NATION SHOW.” That show is a popular fan-run Giants podcast.
The San Francisco 49ers continue to find ways to win games, but at the end of every game, they seem to add another new name to the injury report. While some have been more serious than others, it appears as though edge rusher Mykel Williams' ACL injury could be a season-ending injury .
McCaffrey ran for a three-yard score to put the 49ers up on the Giants 34-17 with 4:13 left to play and that gave him 16 career games with both a rushing and a receiving score. That broke a tie with Marshall Faulk for the most in NFL history.
Sunday is the Giants’ first afternoon home game since then, which is why Reynolds rescheduled the plane for this game. The Giants are 2-6 after going 3-14 in 2024 and 6-11 in 2023. They’re 3-17 in their last 20 games, with back-to-back deflating losses in Denver and Philadelphia, coming off a Thursday night home win over the Eagles.
Ferrell and trade acquisition Keion White will be the new blood on the 49ers defensive line, moves that were made even more necessary with the 49ers’ placing defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. The 49ers (5-3) face the Giants (2-6) Sunday at MetLife Stadium. (CBS, 10 a.m.)
