The Seahawks fell behind the Giants by 10 points with less than 12 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, but it looked like they would force overtime with a Jason Myers field goal with just over a minute left in Seattle was playing.

Isaiah Simmons had other ideas. Simmons jumped over the line and blocked Myers’ attempt to tie the game. Wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton recovered the ball and ran it back for a 60-yard touchdown.

The Giants would have sealed the game if Ford-Wheaton had gone down short of the end zone, but they took a knee rather than try for an extra point and then ran out the clock with a 29-20 win.

The win was well-deserved for a Giants team that controlled the game despite the absences of wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Devin Singletary. They racked up 421 yards of offense and sacked Geno Smith seven times over the course of the afternoon.

Daniel Jones was 23 of 34 for 257 yards and Tyrone Tracy ran 18 times for 129 yards against a Seahawks defense that lost linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and cornerback Riq Woolen to injuries during the game.

If not for a fumble by running back Eric Gray on their first possession of the game, they likely would have tied the game well before the final minute. The Giants tried from the 1-yard line after a long drive on fourth down, but Gray lost the ball and Seahawks safety Rayshawn Jenkins returned the ball 102 yards for a touchdown.

The Giants had two more shots on goal in the first half, but the score was 10-10 at halftime after the Seahawks rallied for a late field goal. The Giants picked up where they left off in the second half, with Jones hitting Darius Slayton for a 30-yard score to put them back in the lead. Two field goals from Greg Joseph extended the lead to 23-20, but the Seahawks rallied for a Jaxson Smith-Njigba touchdown and then forced a three-pointer to give them a chance to win the game.

A long run by Smith put them within field goal range, but the drive stalled at that point and Myers was called upon to tie the game. That wasn’t going to happen and the Giants are now 2-3 with a Sunday night game against the Bengals. The 3-2 Seahawks will get a quick start against the 49ers on Thursday night, a game they need to stay atop the NFC West.
