The San Francisco Giants are gambling that former Tennessee coach Tony Vitello can get them back into the playoffs and go after a World Series.

The Giants’ front seven is generating pressure, averaging three sacks per game and forcing 15 takeaways, creating short-field opportunities for their offense and halting opponents. New York’s offense can manage the clock and grind out drives on the ground, while the 49ers’ revolving QB situation may stall in red-zone situations.

The San Francisco 49ers (5-2) visit the Houston Texans (2-4) Sunday in Week 8.

Mahomes has a passing touchdown in all seven games this year, with multiple passing TDs in three of them.
