Let's take a look at what went down in New Jersey on Sunday. Brian Daboll has this team playing confident football, and this defense loves to stand up in big moments. If you weren't a believer in the New York Football Giants, it's about time you convert over to the faith. Mark Andrews had a huge game, catching seven passes for 106 yards and one touchdown.

An interception set up the game-winning touchdown, and then rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux stripped Jackson on what could have been Baltimore's game-winning possession.ĭaniel Jones completed 19 of 27 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns, one that went to rookie wideout Wan'Dale Robinson, and the other to rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger. Down 20-10 in the fourth quarter, the Giants scored 14 unanswered points to move ahead in crunch time. After New York took over, it got to Washington's 43 but opted to punt instead of either going for it on 4th-and-3 or kicking a potential game-winning 60-yard field goal.įor a head coach nicknamed "Riverboat Ron'' and a rookie head coach who earned the admiration of his players by going for two points and the win in the opener against the Titans, it was a little puzzling.The New York Giants continued their incredible run to start the season in Week 6, as they notched a comeback 24-20 victory over Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The Commanders got to the Giants' 44 on their first drive of overtime, but then went with two straight runs and a short pass and ended up punting. Nobody likes a tie, but both teams got conservative in overtime and seemed to be playing for it.

He finished 25 of 31 (and 19 of 20 at one point during the second half before three straight incompletions) for 200 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 71 yards on 12 attempts.
