The New York Giants, led by a dominant defensive performance, upended the Washington Commanders, 14-7, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday.
The win not only snapped a four-game losing streak but also keeps Big Blue’s slim (and fading) playoff hopes alive with an easier schedule up ahead.
Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ most recent victory.
Offensive snaps: 68
Defensive snaps: 69
Special teams snaps: 29
Wide receiver Parris Campbell no longer seems to have a role for the Giants. He took just four offensive snaps (six overall) in Week 7 and is trending in the wrong direction. Given the team’s issues at punt returner, perhaps they could try him there?
With cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (neck) out, rookie Tre Hawkins was thrust back into a larger role, taking 59 defensive snaps (62 overall). He played admirably but did miss what would have been an easy interception.
Punter Jamie Gillan getting 11 snaps is entirely too much. That means punts and field goals, which normally don’t equate to wins in the NFL.
