Aside from some very big negatives, this was a very solid game offensively.

Therefore, it makes sense to focus on the negative aspects first. The Giants failed to score after four plays from inside the five-yard line and two plays from the one-yard line. To make matters worse, Eric Gray fumbled on the fourth down attempt and the Seahawks returned the favor for a touchdown, leading to a 14-point swing.

There were also a few big drops that would have extended the drives and likely cemented the win sooner. Finally, the Giants made a three-pointer and wasted just 20 seconds and two timeouts on their final drive before the two-minute warning. This gave the Seahawks a chance to win or tie the game.

Now to the positive. Daniel Jones probably played his best game of the season, without Malik Nabers. He finished the game with 257 passing yards and two touchdowns, but the stats don’t fully reflect the story as he made many great plays, especially on third downs.

Jones’ receivers also stepped up. The senior of the group, Darius Slayton, took the brunt of the burden with Nabers out catching eight of his 11 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown.

The Giants were also very successful running the ball, as they rushed for 175 total yards while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Tyrone Tracy Jr. was responsible for the majority of the production as he rushed for 129 yards while averaging 7.2 yards per tote.
