WR Golden Tate – STUD

On the first drive of the Giants’ second possession of the game, Tate was blanketed in coverage by Eagles defensive back Cre’Von LeBlanc, but Tate managed to haul in a 39-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones. It was Tate’s first touchdown of the season, and only his 20th catch of the season.

With Eagles Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay traveling against Darius Slayton, the Giants desperately needed another wide receiver to step up, and Tate certainly did his part, making his one catch count.
