The San Francisco 49ers may find a cure for their ailing running game when they meet the New York Giants on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J.

The 49ers (5-3) rank last in the NFL with 3.4 yards per carry this season, while the Giants (2-6) are giving up a league-high 5.7 yards per carry. San Francisco has scored only three rushing touchdowns; New York has allowed 10.
