Daniel Jones threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns and the New York Giants, playing without their leading rusher and receiver, pulled out a 29-20 victory against the host Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Giants rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr., starting for the injured Devin Singletary (groin), rushed for 129 yards - 100 more than he had over the first four games - and Darius Slayton, stepping up with Malik Nabers (concussion) out, made eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown.

The Giants (2-3) clinched the victory when Isaiah Simmons blocked a potential tying field goal and Bryce Ford-Wheaton returned it 60 yards for a touchdown with 55 seconds remaining. Geno Smith led the Seahawks (3-2) by completing 28 of 40 passes for 284 yards and a touchdown. Smith also rushed for a team-high 72 yards on four carries.



Smith threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 2:09 remaining, capping a 95-yard drive, to pull the Seahawks within three. Seattle's defense forced a three-and-out and Smith drove the Seahawks to New York's 28-yard line before Jason Myers' 45-yard attempt was blocked. The Giants broke a 10-all tie on a 30-yard scoring strike from Jones to Slayton with 10:41 left in the third quarter.

The score was tied at the half despite the Giants having sizable advantages in first downs (15-5), yardage (225-90) and time of possession (21:55-8:55). After stopping the Seahawks on the game's opening possession, the Giants put together a 16-play, 79-yard drive that took 10:01 off .
