RG Will Hernandez: DUD

The NY Giants had hoped Hernandez would be a steadying force at right guard, with so much turnover along the offensive line in recent weeks, but Sunday the veteran was anything but.

Hernandez was at least partially to blame for the aforementioned sack by Brian Burns on a stunt against Hernandez and Solder. He also committed an illegal man downfield penalty that took a big gain the passing game off the board … And a false start penalty.

From allowing pressure and committing costly penalties, Sunday was a dreadful, forgettable performance from Hernandez.
