The New York Giants secured a hard-fought victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday, with a final score of 10-7. The Giants defense was the star of the show, holding the Patriots to just seven points and forcing two turnovers. The Giants offense was able to capitalize on these turnovers, scoring the only touchdown of the game in the second quarter.
The Giants defense was relentless all game long, sacking Patriots quarterback Tom Brady four times and holding the Patriots to just 54 yards rushing. Brady was also held to just 216 passing yards, his lowest total since Week 1 of the season. The Giants also forced two fumbles, one of which was recovered by defensive end Markus Golden in the fourth quarter.
The Giants offense was able to capitalize on these defensive plays, scoring the only touchdown of the game in the second quarter on a four-yard pass from quarterback Daniel Jones to wide receiver Darius Slayton. Jones finished the game with 279 passing yards and one touchdown. Running back Saquon Barkley was also effective, rushing for 73 yards and catching five passes for 45 yards.
The Patriots had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, but kicker Nick Folk missed a 48-yard field goal attempt with just over two minutes remaining. The miss sealed the victory for the Giants, who improved to 4-7 on the season.
The Giants have now won two games in a row and will look to continue their winning streak next week when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots, meanwhile, will look to rebound from this loss and get back in the win column when they take on the Houston Texans next week.
