At least i watched this one until the end.

The game was flat for most of the game bar a few big collisions and plays. 

Really cool defensive play, not a good spectacle and one of the worst QB performances in SB history from Goff.

I will agree this was not a great or particularly compelling defensive game like the two Giants-49ers games of 1990 or the Jaguars 9-0 win over the Steelers.

The first Giants niners game was a 7-3 slugfest on MNF between the two best teams in the NFL.  One of the big highlights of that game was this catch and run by Giants TE Mark Bavaro.  https://youtu.be/-fuVZNWem3Y

The second game was the NFC championship  the same season.  You have probably seen this clip before.  https://youtu.be/c8uVZVbexJo

Those teams were absolutely loaded with stars.  Those 9ers teams featured HOFers Montana, Rice, Haley, Lott, and many more Pro Bowlers.  The Giants had Lawrence Taylor, many other Pro Bowlers like Carl Banks, Leonard Marshall and Bavaro.

The collection of coaching talent was equally impressive.  The Giants had Bill Parcells as head coach, Tom Coughlin as WR coach, and some guy named Belichick as defensive coordinator.  The 49ers had George Seifert as head coach and Mike Holmgren at offensive coordinator.
