It's time for "Thursday Night Football" once again, and for a second consecutive week, Amazon Prime is treating NFL fans to a matchup of two playoff teams from last season.LIVE: The NFC runner-up 49ers will be in action on Thursday night as they play host to the Giants, who were a surprising wild-card team last season. This meeting will pit two strong offensive coaches San Francisco's Kyle Shanahan and New York's Brian Daboll against one another in what appears to be a lopsided battle on paper.The 49ers (2-0) enter this game considered by many to be the best team in the NFL. Former Mr. Irrelevant Brock Don Mattingly Jersey Purdy has developed into a solid starting quarterback, and he is surrounded by many great offensive weapons, including Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle. San Francisco's defense projects to be equally as strong on defense, where it's led by top pa s rusher Nick Bosa and three-down linebacker Fred Warner.NFL POWER RANKINGS:As for the Giants (1-1), they were expected to be improved entering the 2023 NFL season, but that hasn't come to fruition thus far. Their offensive line and particularly, right tackle Evan Neal hasn't taken the step forward many were anticipating, and their defense is allowing an NFL-high 34 points per game through two weeks.Meanwhile, the team's offense didn't score in the first six quarters of the season, so Daniel Jones will need to perform better to live up to his $160 million contract. That will be especially true if Saquon Barkley has to mi s time with an ankle injury suffered in Week 2 against the Cardinals.The Giants had a weak schedule in 2022, so perhaps this regre sion to the mean is what should have been expected of them. But if Daboll and Co. can somehow find a way to keep things close against the 49ers, perhaps that will spark the Giants and get them momentum ahead of their Week 4 home matchup against the Seahawks.Here's how you can catch the Week 3 "Thursday Night Football" game on Amazon Prime.Date: Thursday, Sept. 21Time: 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT)The Week 3 "Thursday Night Football" game featuring the Giants and 49ers will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET.
