The Seahawks trailed the Giants by ten points with less than twelve 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 to play in Seattle.

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

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

The win was a well-deserved one 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.

They probably would have put the game away well before the final minute had it not been for a fumble by running back Eric Gray on their first possession of the game. The Giants went for it on fourth down from the 1-yard line after a long drive, but Gray lost the ball and Seahawks safety Rayshawn Jenkins returned the ball 102 yards for a touchdown.

The Giants would have two more scoring drives in the first half, but it 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 and Jones hit Darius Slayton for a 30-yard score to put them back in front. Two field goals by Greg Joseph extended the lead to 23-20, but the Seahawks rallied for a Jaxson Smith-Njigba touchdown and then forced a three-and-out to give them a chance to win the game.

A long Smith run put them within field goal range, but the drive stalled at that point and Myers was called on 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 on deck. The 3-2 Seahawks will have a quick turnaround Thursday night to face the 49ers in a game they need to stay ahead in the NFC West.
