The New York Giants held on to upset the Washington Commanders, 20-12, in what was a classic NFC East game on Sunday night.
The win guaranteed the Giants a finish of .500 or better and significantly improved their playoff odds. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the loss for Washington all but ended their playoff dreams despite still hanging onto that final spot entering Week 16.
There’s a lot to break down and a lot to go over but before we look ahead, let’s look back. Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ latest win.
Offensive snaps: 63
Defensive snaps: 63
Special teams snaps: 26
Safety Landon Collins took just 27 defensive snaps, but they were impactful. He played well against his former team and accounted for at least two big stops on third down.
Wide receiver Kenny Golladay saw only a single snap on Sunday and it appeared as if Daniel Jones was going to look his way down the field. But DJ ultimately tucked it in and the $72 million man headed back to the sidelines.
Guard Ben Bredeson also worked his way back into things after being activated off of IR, taking the larger share of split snaps with Nick Gates.
