With three losses in a row, the 49ers are looking to get back on track this Sunday.

"There's a lot of searching going on," Niners coach Mike Nolan said. "If it was just one (area), it would be a simple problem. But there have been dropped balls, missed blocks, missed protection calls. It could be scheme. It could be play-calling. It could be the head coach. It could be a lot of things."

Unfortunately, they'll be facing one of the hottest teams in the NFC - the New York Giants.

After an 0-2 start the Giants have won four games in a row including their recent 31-10 blowout of the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. Although the offense has made fewer mistakes most think the improvement of the defense is what has led to the Giants' winning streak.

"Honestly, I think the reason we're playing so good is because we've still got that 0-2 mentality," middle linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "We went into this game thinking we were the 1-4 team."

Despite their success, the Giants know how quickly their success can change. Last season, the Giants won five straight games from Oct. 8-Nov. 5 to own a 6-2 record at the halfway point of the season. However, they managed just two more wins the rest of the way and won a tiebreaker to get the final postseason spot.
