For the second week in a row, the New York Giants came away with a victory.
It took them going into overtime, but the Giants went into FedEx Field and won against the Washington Redskins, 41-35, which got them their fourth victory this season.
However, the victory did drop the Giants a bit in the order for the 2020 NFL Draft, as they are no longer in the second spot. But at the end of the day, the Giants got a victory over a divisional rival and also got themselves out of last place in the NFC East.
The Giants have one game left, as they have the chance to potentially play spoilers against the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium in Week 17.
Whose stock up and down for the Giants in their overtime victory against the Redskins?
Stock up: Daniel Jones
In his return to the field after missing the last two weeks with an ankle sprain, Jones had himself a game, throwing for 352 yards and five touchdowns.
With the game tied at 35, Jones and the Giants’ offense won the toss in overtime, marched the offense down the field and won the game by throwing his fifth touchdown pass of the game — the winner to Kaden Smith.
Jones did fumble the ball once, but he didn’t lose it and he was only sacked once in the game. Other than that, Jones played extremely well against a Washington defense that had trouble stopping him.
Stock down: Darius Slayton
For the majority of the season, Slayton has been extremely reliable in the Giants offense. But on Sunday, Slayton threw up a total goose egg. No catches. No yards.
Given how well the Giants offense played on Sunday and how they were able to put up 41 points, it was a bit of a surprise to see Slayton not come up with a single catch or yard even with his snap count limited (20) due to injury.
It’s a rarity to see Slayton not get anything and he’ll likely rebound next week with a strong game. But for this week, Slayton came up empty in a game where the Giants offense exploded.
