The Giants’ comeback against the Cardinals may have saved their season, at least for now

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:53 GMT

The New York Giants’ hopes for a second straight playoff berth got a boost from a record-tying comeback in the second game of the season.Instead of being 0-2 heading into a Thursday night game against the talented San Francisco 49ers (2-0), the Giants (1-1) seemed to get back on track by rallying from a 21-point second-half deficit to beat the Arizona Cardinals 31-28 on Sunday.There are many who think the comeback orchestrated by Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley saved New York’s season, at least for now.The Giants were awful in a season-opening 40-0 loss to Dallas, and their first 30 minutes in Week 2 were just as bad. New York allowed Arizona to take a 20-0 halftime lead and a 28-7 advantage in the third quarter.Had the trend continued, the odds would have been against Brian Daboll’s team in 2023. Not only are they facing the 49ers on three days’ rest, they have Seattle, Miami and Buffalo — all playoff teams last year — after that.Daboll refused to think abou...

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to bounce back from a rough Week 1 loss without wide receiver Diontae Johnson.The Steelers placed Johnson and running back Anthony McFarland on injured reserve on Monday, hours before Pittsburgh (0-1) hosted the Cleveland Browns (1-0).Johnson tweaked his right hamstring while being tackled at the end of a 26-yard gain in the third quarter of a 30-7 loss to San Francisco in the season opener. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin had already ruled Johnson out against Cleveland. The move to injured reserve means he’ll miss at least four games.Johnson is Pittsburgh’s leading receiver over the past four seasons, averaging 85 receptions a season since being taken in the third round of the 2019 draft. He was a Pro Bowler in 2021. McFarland, who serves as the Steelers’ primary kickoff returner, is dealing with a knee injury. Pittsburgh promoted running back Qadree Ollison to the 53-man roster.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The season-opening road trip couldn’t have gone much better for the San Francisco 49ers.Quarterback Brock Purdy looks completely recovered from offseason surgery and has the offense clicking with the same efficiency it had at the end of last season.

Hopefully we got a little bit better this week and will continue throughout the year.”The victory over the Rams didn’t come nearly as easily as the one in Pittsburgh in Week 1, when San Francisco led 20-0 before the Steelers even generated their initial first down.San Francisco struggled to slow down Matthew Stafford and the Rams o...
