WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE OFFENSE

The Giants played without their best wide receiver and running back on Sunday. Malik Nabers, the sensational rookie who led the NFL in catches and ranked second in receiving yards through the first four weeks, was ruled out because of a concussion he suffered in Thursday’s game against Dallas. He did not travel to Seattle with the team.

Devin Singletary, meanwhile, was listed as questionable with a groin injury in the week’s final report. The veteran running back had 293 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in his first four games as a Giant.

Sophomore running back Eric Gray, a former fifth-round pick, had just 86 yards from scrimmage in his first 17 games in the NFL. In his 18^ehe had 52 on the opening drive alone, including three catches for 50 yards. But then disaster struck when Gray lost a fumble reaching the goal line and Seahawks strong safety Rayshawn Jenkins sent him 101 yards the other way for a touchdown.

Daniel Jones got off to another good start, completing 12 of his first 13 passes for 123 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown to wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson. Overall, Jones finished 23 of 34 for 257 yards and two touchdowns with a passer rating of 109.6. He also added 39 yards on 10 rushing attempts.

Jones and Darius Slayton made a perfect deep shot from 41 yards down the right sideline in the third quarter. Three plays later, Jones passed it back to him for a 30-yard touchdown to regain the lead at the time, 17-10.

Slayton finished with 122 yards, the third-most of his career, while recording his sixth 100-yard game and first since the 2023 season finale.

Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr., another fifth-round running back, led the way on the ground with 129 yards on 18 carries, with a long of 27 yards. He had just 29 rushing yards entering Week 5.

The Giants emphasized the run game during the extended break after a 24-carry, 26-yard output against the Cowboys. They responded with 176 yards on 33 carries in Seattle.

Giants tight ends entered Sunday with just five catches for 57 yards combined on the season. That changed in Seattle, where rookie fourth-rounder Theo Johnson caught five passes for 48 yards, with a long of 22 yards.

The Giants again dominated the time of possession, 37:22 to 22:38.
