Key Takeaways from the Giants’ First Win of the Season.
The New York Giants secured their first win of the season with a 21-15 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Now sitting at 1-2, the Giants showed flashes of brilliance, though there are still areas of concern. Let’s break down the key takeaways from this game.
Daniel Jones: A Tale of Two Halves.
Daniel Jones started strong, completing almost all of his first-half passes. He looked sharp and in control, only missing two completions. However, the second half was a different story. Jones threw a few shaky passes that could have easily turned into turnovers. While his overall performance was just okay, he ended the game with a win and will look to build on that against Dallas in their upcoming game.
Giants’ Pass Rush Was on Fire.
One of the most impressive parts of this game was the Giants’ pass rush. They racked up a total of eight sacks against Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Brian Burns had a breakout performance with his first sack of the season and a forced fumble. Kayvon Thibodeaux also made his mark, getting credited for a half sack and blowing up a key quarterback sneak by Jameis Winston. This duo will be key moving forward.
Dexter Lawrence and Malik Nabers Shine.
Dexter Lawrence continues to be a dominant force. He’s proving to be one of the best at his position, consistently disrupting the opposing offense. On the other hand, Malik Nabers is making his case for Offensive Rookie of the Year. His performance today highlighted why head coach Brian Daboll was so eager to draft him.
Concerns About Jalin Hyatt and Deonte Banks.
While the win overshadowed some concerns, they can’t be ignored. Deonte Banks struggled in coverage, and for the third straight game, Jalin Hyatt was held without a catch. He was only targeted once, which has become an alarming trend for the young receiver. It’s something the Giants will need to address as they prepare for the Cowboys.
