The New York Giants continued what’s been an outstanding season on Sunday, December 18. With Matthew Stafford and the red-hot Detroit Lions coming to town, the Giants were in need of a massive performance in a critical game.

With the postseason within reach and a victory the only desirable outcome, the Giants stepped up with one of their best performances of the season.

New York outlasted Detroit for a 17-6 victory at MetLife Stadium. It was a brilliant display by the defense and a methodical display by the offense, which is a combination that Giants fans haven’t often seen in 2016.

Though it was a team effort, there were a select few individuals who stepped up and took over for the Giants when it was most necessary.

Some of the players who stepped up and didn’t make the list include Landon Collins, Damon Harrison, Weston Richburg. That alone should paint a picture of how well New York played as a team and how phenomenally the individuals who made the cut performed.

The question is: who were the Players of the Game for the New York Giants during the 17-6 win over the Detroit Lions?
