Giants vs. 49ers: Score, results, highlights from Week 10 game in Santa Clara image

Sunday's Giants-49ers game at Levi's Stadium of course had no effect on the NFL playoff picture. New York and San Francisco entered Week 10 with a combined record of 1-16, with the Giants being arguably the most disappointing team in the league in 2017 given their preseason outlook.

They somehow became even more disappointing during their 31-21 loss to the previously winless 49ers.

The good news for New York ... kind of: It's one step closer to the first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Considering events of the last couple weeks, the Giants suddenly are the team more likely to draft a quarterback in April. The 49ers are set with Jimmy Garoppolo, who reportedly won't start for San Francisco until Week 12 against Seattle.
