With less than 20 minutes left in the game, the 49ers were behind 38-14

Then in the 3rd quarter the momentum turned around thanks to plays such as Garcia's TD run and game winning TD pass to Tai Streets. (left) They went on to win 39-38 in one of the wildest games I've ever photographed.

The game ended in controversy. On the final play with just seconds left on the clock, the Giants had a chance to win the game on a 41 yard field goal. The snap however was bad and the Giants had to pass. They did to Rich Seubert who never had a chance to catch the ball. He was tackled by Chike Okeafor before the ball even reached him. The refs admittedly blew it by not calling pass interference which would have given the Giants another field goal attempt. 49ers Coach Steve Mariucci's reaction to the blown call?
