How to watch Giants vs. 49ers for free: Start time, livestream

Two teams looking to get back on track in Week 9 will face each other when the San Francisco 49ers visit the New York Giants this afternoon.

The Giants are coming off a 38-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in which the defense allowed the most rushing yards in a game of anyone in the NFL this season (276). They also lost a key piece of the offensive line in the loss; rookie Cam Skattebo’s season ended following a gruesome ankle dislocation.

In 49ers injury updates, starting quarterback Brock Purdy was ruled questionable this week, a step up from the past four where he’d been ruled out with a toe injury. Still, the Niners plan to start Mac Jones for a fifth consecutive game, per coach Kyle Shanahan.

Here’s how to tune in to this afternoon’s Giants game without cable.
