Giants Drop Fifth Straight in Kafka’s Debut as Run Game Shows Life

Late defensive breakdowns, wind-blown kicks, roster churn blunted New York's offensive progress.

Overview

  • Jameis Winston made his first Giants start, finishing 19-for-29 with a rushing touchdown and a late interception after a route error by Jalin Hyatt.
  • Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for 88 yards as New York totaled 142 on the ground, with Devin Singletary adding two short rushing scores.
  • Re-signed Thursday from the Steelers’ practice squad, Isaiah Hodgins led the Giants with 57 receiving yards on five catches and drew praise from Mike Kafka.
  • A chop-block penalty wiped out a made PAT and forced a 48-yard retry that Younghoe Koo missed in gusty Meadowlands winds, and the Giants avoided field goal attempts.
  • The defense failed to close, surrendering key completions on a third-and-10 and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, while rookie Jaxson Dart remained in concussion protocol.
