HOW GIANTS QB JONES PRESENT 49ERS' DEFENSE WITH NEW CHALLENGE

The 49ers' defense will be put to the test against the New York Giants on "Thursday Night Football" at Levi's Stadium. After San Francisco's defense struggled against Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford throughout the first half of Sunday's 30-23 win at SoFi Stadium, the 49ers' defensive line will look to contain Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.

Defensive end Nick Bosa and the 49ers' defense sacked Stafford, who is known to get the ball out quickly, just once on Sunday. Jones will present a hungry 49ers D-line with a different challenge. Jones' 708 rushing yards in 2022 were the fifth most among quarterbacks behind Chicago's Justin Fields (1,143), Baltimore's Lamar Jackson (764), Buffalo's Josh Allen (762) and Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts (760). Jones also has the second-highest scramble percentage among NFL quarterbacks behind only Jackson (h/t The Athletic's David Lombardi).
