The New York Giants went on the highway, to arguably probably the most hostile setting within the NFL, and put a checkmark within the win column with a 23-20 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
An surprising flip of occasions, most thought the Giants wouldn’t beat the Seahawks even with Malik Nabers on the sphere. So when he was dominated out, it appeared the Giants have been doomed. However Massive Blue had different concepts and gamers stepped up all around the area tonight. Not solely did they appear to be a very completely different workforce, nevertheless it regarded pure.
There have been nonetheless errors — a few gamers who completely tanked — however general the Giants regarded like a unit. They moved the ball properly, held the primary offense within the league to only 250 yards earlier than rubbish time, received a takeaway, and proved that their season isn’t over but.
Right here’s a fast have a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from Sunday’s victory:
Let’s face it, Daniel Jones hardly ever will get the credit score he deserves as a result of the Giants have been fairly terrible of late. However immediately in opposition to the Seahawks, Jones took cost, displayed poise and confidence, and made sensible choices with the soccer. He accomplished 23 of 34 move makes an attempt for 257 yards and two touchdowns, including 38 yards within the floor. He didn’t throw an interception.
With Devin Singletary inactive on Sunday, the Giants anticipated Eric Grey to shoulder the bottom recreation and he failed. Not solely did was his fumble returned over 100 yards for a Seattle landing, however he was unable to make any headway on the bottom with solely 4 rushes for 4 yards. He did have 50 receiving yards, however his impression was lower than the Giants anticipated immediately.
Rookie working again Tyrone Tracy Jr. took over the place Eric Grey failed. Tracy confirmed off his velocity, agility, and talent to carry on to the ball with 18 carries for 129 yards. He didn’t put any factors on the board, however he dealt with the bottom recreation with out a problem and solidified his place as RB2 going ahead.
Darius Slayton began out the sport just a little bit tough, however he redeemed himself as the sport went on. He ended the sport with eight receptions for 122 yards and a landing, however he was all around the area tonight. By the tip of the sport, you would see how heavy his physique was when he tried to rise up from being tackled. He put his all into this recreation and deserves a ton of credit score for stepping up when Malik Nabers couldn’t be on the sphere.
Dexter Lawrence is quick making a case for Defensive Participant of the Yr. Nothing will make your day like watching a 6-foot-4, 340-pound defensive sort out do a summersault after making a cease, and Lawrence did that immediately. He had 4 whole tackles (two solo), 3.0 sacks, two tackles for a loss and 4 QB hits. This dude is an animal — he’s on the sphere for nearly each single snap and he’s wreaking havoc in all places he goes. The Seahawks had no reply for Horny Dexy, and the outcome was a severe show of athletic prowess.
The Giants have been ready on Deonte Banks to determine the right way to make an impression on this league and on Sunday, he lastly made some constructive decisions. It was typically one step ahead and two steps again, however he rebounded with a vengeance in opposition to the Seahawks and DK Metcalf. He ended the outing with six tackles (two solo) and three passes defensed, his greatest outing of the 12 months.
Wan’Dale Robinson caught six of 9 passes thrown his route immediately. Two of these misses have been drops in important moments of the sport — drops he ought to have caught — which is why he’s a studly dud. He had 36 receiving yards in whole, a landing, and he ran the ball as soon as for 4 yards.
