Mixed reviews

DeAndre Baker: Baker has showed tremendous strides in recent weeks and at moments, did again in Week 16. At other times however, including a second half pass interference penalty, he reminded everyone that he’s still a rookie making rookie mistakes.

Markus Golden: Golden dominated as a sheer pass rusher on Sunday, recording 1.0 sack to push his total to 10 on the season, becoming the first Giants linebacker to secure double-digit sacks in a season since Jessie Armstead did it in 1999. Against the run and in coverage (why is he still being dropped into zone coverage), however? Not nearly as productive.

Note: Current box score says 0.5 sacks for Golden, but that shared sack may be changed to a full sack.

Golden Tate: His yards after the catch? Impressive. His change of direction? Remarkable. But two dropped passes in one game? Unheard of and unacceptable.
