The New York Giants entered Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks as massive underdogs. They were without their top two offensive weapons in wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) and running back Devin Singletary (groin). It didn’t start pretty for them, as a promising first quarter drive was flipped when Eric Gray fumbled at the goal line, and the ensuing recovery by the Seahawks was returned for a 101-yard touchdown.
Somehow, despite the odds being completely stacked against them, the Giants ended up winning what could be a season-saving game by a score of 29-20 to improve to 2-3 on the season. The Giants had their best offensive game of the season in Week 5 Despite missing Nabers and Singletary, the Giants carved up a solid Seahawks defense both on the ground and through the air. The Giants were expected to utilize the run game more without their top receiver, but head coach Brian Daboll insisted on giving quarterback Daniel Jones the green light to let it fly.
Jones was 23-34 on his passes and threw for 257 yards, the second-most in a game this season, and two touchdowns. He also had his best passer rating of the season Sunday with it being 109.6, and his 7.
6 yards per completion was his best mark so far this season. The Giants still had a strong attack through the ground despite missing their leading rusher. Rookie tailback Tyrone Tracy had a career game with the expanded opportunity, as he was responsible for 129 of the team’s 175 rushing yards.
Tracy got his yards .
