Eli Manning was extremely strong for the Giants when they needed him most. He attempted a career high amount of passes tonight, tossing the pigskin 54 times and competing a career high and franchise record 41 in the process. He added three touchdowns as well, as he picked apart the 49ers lowly pass defense all night.

The grade was earned because of his work on the final drive. Despite having Odell Beckham Jr. hampered on the sideline for most of it, and Rueben Randle out all together with hamstring injuries, Manning manufactured a game-winning drive for an NFL leading 27th time since 2004. He threw a duck that could have been intercepted, but was great otherwise.

With Dwyane Harris, Geremy Davis and Myles White, who was signed this week off the practice squad, at his disposal Manning still moved the ball downfield by finding his safety valve, Shane Vereen. He then found Larry Donnell from 12-yards away, who made an outstanding catch between two 49ers to get the Giants the win.

Manning was masterful, and the only reason he does not get an A+ is because of the interception he threw at the end of the first half. It really turned the tide of the game, as the Giants were poised to at least add another field goal, but instead game the 49ers momentum heading into the locker room.

Beckham continued his dominance at home, catching seven passes for 121 yards and one touchdown. Vereen had the most receptions with eight for 86 yards. Will Tye made some nice players stepping in for Fells, catching all four of his targets for 48 yards. Harris also did well in his second game playing out of the slot, while Randle and Donnell were reliable in the short yard game.
