The New York Giants experienced another mixed bag in a Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Their offense finally stepped up to the plate, but it was their defense that ultimately let them down.
It was just the latest example of the Giants failing to put things all together and ending up with another loss.
On the positive side of things, wide receiver Darius Slayton had one of the best games of his career (8 receptions for 129 yards) and that was reflected in the Pro Football Focus grades. Slayton earned a team-high grade of 91.6.
On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback James Bradberry led the charge with an overall grade of 77.9, including a coverage grade of 791. And even that seems low for a guy who completely shut down Amari Cooper.
Also checking in with an impressive grade was punter Riley Dixon, who earned an 87.9 for his beautiful touchdown pass to tight end Evan Engram on a fake field goal (the play was negated due to a penalty).
Meanwhile, quarterback Daniel Jones earned an overall grade of 68.6, defensive tackle Leonard Williams a grade of 74.6 and safety Jabrill Peppers a grade of 73.5.
The lowest-graded Giants of Week 5 were linebackers Tae Crowder (28.0) and Devante Down (32.4), and cornerback Ryan Lewis (33.8).
The lowest-graded offensive players were center Nick Gates (42.6) and wide receiver Damion Ratley (49.0).
