Breaking Down the Giants’ Impressive 29-20 Win Against the Seahawks.
The New York Giants’ 29-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks provided several key takeaways, both on offense and defense. Let’s break down the major highlights.
New York Giants Offensive Breakdown.
Daniel Jones’ Resilience.
Daniel Jones delivered a solid performance, especially with his deep throws to Darius Slayton, including two big plays on one scoring drive. Despite an early fumble—caused by stepping on Andrew Thomas’ foot—Jones stayed composed. He bounced back by leading the offense down the field without missing a beat.
Tyrone Tracy Making His Case.
Tyrone Tracy had a breakout game, rushing for 129 yards on 18 carries. His physical style, especially lowering his shoulder on tough runs, stood out. Tracy’s burst through the line was evident, and he clearly outperformed Eric Gray. If Devin Singletary continues fumbling, Tracy could soon challenge for the starting role.
Darius Slayton Shines.
Despite two drops, Slayton had a solid game. His reliability was on display, and he hauled in deep passes that contributed to the win. If the Giants keep winning, it will be tough to trade Slayton, even though his contract is expiring.
Disappointing for Jalin Hyatt.
Jalin Hyatt, however, had a surprising zero-target game. For a second-year player, it’s concerning to see no impact so far this season. I thought this game we would see some flashes given the status of Malik Nabers.
Theo Johnson Stepping Up.
Theo Johnson showed promise as a receiver. His performance was encouraging, and if he can stay consistent, he could become a reliable option in the Giants’ passing game.
Offensive Line Improvements.
The Giants’ offensive line continues to show improvement. Despite Jones being sacked three times, the line has only allowed 12 sacks this season, a huge leap from last year. They also paved the way for 175 rushing yards, a major win for the offense.
New York Giants Defensive Breakdown.
Pass Rush Bringing the Heat.
The Giants’ pass rush dominated, recording seven sacks. Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux both got to Geno Smith, with Burns’ fourth-down sack being especially crucial.
Dexter Lawrence Dominates.
Dexter Lawrence was a game-changer, recording three sacks. His presence in the middle is a massive advantage for the Giants. No surprises here it’s what we expect.
Deonte Banks Solid in Coverage.
Deonte Banks bounced back from a few rough games. He held D.K. Metcalf in check, limiting his impact and helping the defense shut down Seattle’s passing attack.
New York Giants Special Teams Breakdown.
Greg Joseph Dependable as Kicker.
Greg Joseph has become a reliable asset. Since his first game miss, he’s been perfect, hitting 8-for-8 field goals. The Giants don’t need to rush Graham Gano back from injury as long as Joseph stays consistent.
Isaiah Simmons’ Big Play.
Isaiah Simmons delivered a game-saving play, blocking a potential game-tying field goal. Bryce Ford-Wheaton’s return sealed the win, swinging the momentum back to the Giants at the perfect time.
Next Week’s Challenge: Bengals on Sunday Night.
Next week, the Giants face the Bengals in prime time. Joe Burrow and his dynamic receivers, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, will be tough to contain. However, if the Giants play as they did against Seattle, they can pull off another win.
