Diverse Offense

The Giants handed the ball off to three different running backs and threw it to five different receivers in this game. The different skill sets of Jennings, Williams, and Vereen make the Giants running game multi dimensional but it was the diversity through the air that really helped the Giants capture this win.

Dwayne Harris has been a liability on offense. Today, however, Harris hauled in five catches for 51 yards and 1 touchdown. He played very well out of the slot and made a difference in this game that is not reflected in the box score. Harris and Rueben Randle gave Eli Manning options behind Odell Beckham, who was relatively silent today.

With the defenses having to pay attention to Harris, tight end Larry Donnell was able to get open five times and contribute 38 yards. Harris is no game change but having him as another reliable receiver option goes a long way to improving the offensive arsenal.
