Aside from a few very big negatives, this was a very solid game from the offense.

Therefore, it makes sense to address the negative points first. The Giants were unable to score on 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 it for a touchdown, resulting in a 14-point swing.

There were also a few big drops that would have extended the drives and probably sealed the win sooner. Ultimately, the Giants went three-and-out, wasting 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 for the positives. Daniel Jones played perhaps his best game of the season and this was with Malik Nabers out. He finished with 257 passing yards and two touchdowns, but the stats don’t fully tell the story as he made a lot of big plays, especially on third downs.

Jones’ receivers also came up. The group’s longest-tenured player, Darius Slayton, shouldered the brunt of the load with Nabers out as he caught eight of his 11 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown.

The Giants were also very successful running the ball as they totaled 175 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 carry.
