EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Brandon Jacobs scored twice Sunday for the New York Giants, who rebounded from a loss in Cleveland with a 29-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The defending Super Bowl champion Giants (5-1) were pounded 35-14 by the Browns Monday but led all the way against San Francisco.
