By Ralph Ventre PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- Osi Umenyiora seemed tobe in the San Francisco 49ers backfield more than running backFrank Gore on Sunday afternoon. The New York Giants' defensiveend also was in the end zone more than Gore. Umenyiora's 75-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the thirdquarter was one of many key defensive plays as the Giants routedthe 49ers, 33-15, at Giants Stadium. After opening the season with two losses, the Giants have wonfive in a row. On San Francisco's opening drive of the second half, Umenyiorastripped the ball from 49ers quarterback Trent Dilfer, picked upthe loose ball and rambled 75 yards to put the Giants ahead,19-7. In total, the New York defense forced four turnovers, sackedDilfer six times and limited Gore to 88 yards on 14 carries,with 24 of those yards coming on a meaningless scamper on thefinal play of the first half. Starting again in place of an ailing Alex Smith, Dilfercompleted 23-of-38 passes for 209 yards. The veteran tossed apair of touchdown passes and was intercepted twice. With San Francisco (2-4) leading, 7-6, midway through the secondquarter thanks to Arnaz Battle's 17-yard touchdown catch, theGiants defense took control by forcing turnovers on two straightpossessions. Umenyiora started the defensive barrage by pouncing on a badexchange between Dilfer and Gore at the San Francisco 27-yardline. Four plays later, New York had its second touchdown ofthe day on a 5-yard run by Brandon Jacobs' off right tackle tomake it 13-7. Jacobs rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Giants cornerback Sam Madison made matters worse for Dilfer,<div class="pre">intercepting the veteran quarterback on the first play of the</div>49ers' ensuing drive, which set up Lawrence Tynes' 29-yard fieldgoal and a 16-7 New York advantage. After San Francisco quickly went three-and-out on its nextpossession, the Giants added a 39-yard field goal from Tynes totake a 19-7 lead into the break. Amani Toomer put the Giants on the board first when he capped an82-yard, game-opening drive with a 4-yard TD reception, the49th of his career. Toomer, who caught three balls for 36yards, became the Giants' all-time TD reception leader on theplay. Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw his second touchdown passof the day, a 2-yard strike, to Jeremy Shockey midway throughthe fourth quarter to close out New York's scoring, making it33-9. Manning finished 18-of-31 passing for 146 yards, two TDs and oneinterception. Dilfer threw a 16-yard TD pass to wide receiver Darrell Jacksonin the closing seconds to narrow the final deficit.

Umenyiora's 75-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the thirdquarter was one of many key defensive plays as the Giants routedthe 49ers, 33-15, at Giants Stadium. After opening the season with two losses, the Giants have wonfive in a row. "We're on a roll," said Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, whose28-yard interception return set up New York's final touchdown."We're a team that is playing well right now, but we still haveto take it one game at a time." On San Francisco's opening drive of the second half, Umenyiorastripped the ball from 49ers quarterback Trent Dilfer, picked upthe loose ball and rambled 75 yards to put the Giants ahead,19-7. "Sack, fumble, fumble recovery, touchdown," said Pierce inrecounting Umenyiora's big play. "That's a lot of productionright there. It looks real good on the stat sheet." Umenyiora was a little less animated is his re-telling of theplay. "I was in the right place at the right time, and I made theplay," Umenyiora said. The entire Giants defense looked good on the stat sheet. Intotal, New York forced four turnovers, sacked Dilfer six timesand limited Gore to 88 yards on 14 carries, with 24 of thoseyards coming on a meaningless scamper on the final play of thefirst half. "Turnovers and penalties have cost us games," 49ers coach MikeNolan said. "We're our own worst enemy." Starting again in place of an ailing Alex Smith, Dilfercompleted 23-of-38 passes for 209 yards. The veteran tossed apair of touchdown passes, was intercepted twice and harassed byNew York's vaunted defensive line throughout the game. "When you have the type of players we have and our defense, aquarterback has to be expecting at least some type of pressure,"Umenyiora said. With San Francisco (2-4) leading, 7-6, midway through the secondquarter thanks to Arnaz Battle's 17-yard touchdown catch, theGiants defense took control by forcing turnovers on two straightpossessions. "Offensively, we know we have weapons," Giants defensive endMichael Strahan said. "It's the defense's goal to get the ballback into their hands as soon as possible." Umenyiora started the defensive barrage by pouncing on a badexchange between Dilfer and Gore at the San Francisco 27-yardline. Four plays later, New York had its second touchdown ofthe day on a 5-yard run by Brandon Jacobs' off right tackle tomake it 13-7. Jacobs rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Giants cornerback Sam Madison made matters worse for Dilfer,intercepting the veteran quarterback on the first play of the49ers' ensuing drive, which set up Lawrence Tynes' 29-yard fieldgoal and a 16-7 New York advantage. After San Francisco quickly went three-and-out on its nextpossession, the Giants added a 39-yard field goal from Tynes totake a 19-7 lead into the break. Amani Toomer put the Giants on the board first when he capped an82-yard, game-opening drive with a 4-yard TD reception, the49th of his career. Toomer, who caught three balls for 36yards, became the Giants' all-time TD reception leader on theplay. Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw his second touchdown passof the day, a 2-yard strike to Jeremy Shockey midway through thefourth quarter, to close out New York's scoring, making it33-9. "We're playing more confident now," said Pierce of what haschanged since New York's 0-2 start. "Don't be fooled, though,we still made a lot of mistakes out there [today] that we haveto fix." Manning finished 18-of-31 passing for 146 yards, two TDs and oneinterception. Dilfer threw a 16-yard TD pass to wide receiver Darrell Jacksonin the closing seconds to narrow the final deficit.
