NY Giants Grades: wobbly Daniel Jones struggles, defense unable to hold up

The NY Giants end their four-game win streak with an ugly loss at home.

All good things come to an end, and that’s what happened to the NY Giants winning streak Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals

The Giants were never able to get their offense past first gear. They had more punts than they had first downs. They were held to just 159 total yards on the day. And in his anticipated return, Daniel Jones fumbled three times, lost it once, and was sacked six times for more than fifty yards, in a 26-7 drubbing.

It was the sloppiest the Giants looked since their Week 3 blowout against San Francisco. And it was the fewest points the team scored all season.

Unfortunately, the lack of any sustained offense whatsoever erases what would have been an otherwise strong outing for the Giants defense. For the majority of the game, the defense was able to contain Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins to keep the Giants competitive.

Worse, the loss couldn’t have come at a worse time. With the Washington Football team surging, and the rest of the NFC East hanging right around the Giants record, New York is now on the outside looking in at the playoff race.

The Giants still have three games left on the schedule. But before looking ahead, let’s look at this week’s Giants Grades.
