Giants fall to Cowboys, 21-6: Winners, losers and those in between

Here are the winners, losers and those in between from the New York Giants’ Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The New York Giants (4-10) found themselves on the wrong end of a sloppy 21-6 loss against the Dallas Cowboys (10-4) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Though it should have been expected, it was another sluggish and sloppy outing from the offense. The offensive line struggled all game, Mike Glennon shouldn’t be the quarterback and the defense allowed Dalton Schultz to run free.

At this point, we’re just counting the weeks until the season is over. Here are the winners, losers and those in between from the Week 15 loss:

Kyle Rudolph, Billy Price were highest-graded Giants in Week 14

Tight end Kyle Rudolph and center Billy Price earned the New York Giants’ highest PFF grades in Week 14.

The New York Giants had the brakes beat off them on Sunday, falling to the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 37-21. And the game wasn’t even that close.

There were precious few positives to take away from the game as the Giants struggled in every form and facet. From the coaches to the players, it was a disaster from the opening whistle until the final second.

Still, those at Pro Football Focus managed to find some silver linings. Not everyone earned a poor grade. In fact, some players shined through a bit.

Tight end Kyle Rudolph topped that list following his best game in a Giants uniform. He logged a team-high grade of 89.9. He was followed by center Billy Price (85.3), fullback Eli Penny (84.9) and running back Devontae Booker (77.4).

Other notable offensive grades include guard Will Hernandez (75.5), running back Saquon Barkley (75.5) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (55.4).

The lowest-graded Giants on offense were wide receiver Darius Slayton (39.8) and tight end Chris Myarick (30.8).

Defensively, lineman Dexter Lawrence led the way (80.3). Just behind him were linebacker Tae Crowder (74.2), defensive end Leonard Williams (73.9) and nose tackle Danny Shelton (70.5).

Other notable defensive grades include cornerback James Bradberry (64.3), edge rusher Azeez Ojulari (59.4) and linebacker Lorenzo Carter (48.6).

The lowest-graded Giants defenders were linebacker Benardrick McKinney (43.6) and defensive lineman Austin Johnson III (42.5).

Giants fall to Dolphins: Winners, losers and those in between

Here are the winners, losers and those in between from the New York Giants’ Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

The New York Giants entered Week 13 shorthanded and hopeful, but left Miami just shorthanded.

In one of their ugliest performances in recent years, the Giants were manhandled by the Miami Dolphins despite the scoreboard showing a low-scoring affair. The reason for that? Big Blue’s usually anemic offense was completely non-functional on Sunday.

With limited weapons, a replacement quarterback and injuries abound, the Giants’ offense was so bad Jason Garrett could be heard laughing from his home in Dallas. And defensively? They, too, left a bit to be desired.

With the loss, the Giants fall to 4-8 on the season and see their slim playoff hopes slip further away.

Here’s a look at the winners and losers (and those in between) from Sunday’s 20-9 loss.

John Ross, Logan Ryan were highest-graded Giants in Week 8

WR John Ross and S Logan Ryan earned the New York Giants’ highest offensive and defensive grades in a Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The New York Giants whiffed on an upset bid on Monday night, falling the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 20-17. They were undone by poor clock management, untimely penalties and back-breaking mistakes.

But there were some positives (if you care to hear about them), especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Safety and team captain, Logan Ryan, had his best game of the season and it was reflected in the Pro Football Focus grades. Ryan earned a unit-high grade of 79.2 (min. 15 snaps).

Just behind Ryan were cornerbacks James Bradberry (78.5) and Adoree’ Jackson (78.4), and safety Julian Love (69.1).

Other notable defensive grades include cornerback Darnay Holmes (66.0), defensive lineman Leonard Williams (60.7) and linebacker Oshane Ximines (52.7).

The lowest-graded Giants defenders were linebacker Tae Crowder (26.5) and Benardrick McKinney (23.9).

On the offensive side of the ball, wide receiver John Ross was the top dog with his grade of (90.3). Checking in just below Ross were tight end Kyle Rudolph (76.4), left guard Matt Skura (73.3) and, somehow, center Billy Price (71.1).

Other noteworthy offensive grades include left tackle Matt Peart (68.1), wide receiver Kadarius Toney (60.2), running back Devontae Booker (55.8) and quarterback Daniel Jones (47.3).

The lowest-graded Giants on offense were right guard Will Hernandez (41.8) and tight end Kaden Smith (39.5).

Giants fall to Chiefs: Winners, losers and those in between

Here are the winners, losers and those in between from the New York Giants’ Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The New York Giants went into a Week 8 game against the Kansas City Chiefs as significant underdogs but managed to keep things close until the end.

There’s no participation trophies in the NFL, however. Close only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades, so there will be no moral celebration in the Giants’ locker-room after surrendering a fourth quarter lead and leaving Arrowhead with a deflating loss.

With the loss, the Giants fall to 2-6 on the season — an all too familiar record — and now prepare for a Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Here’s a look at the winners and losers (and those in between) from Monday Night Football.

Stock up, down after Giants’ 25-3 victory over Panthers

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 7?

Sunday was a pleasant surprise for a lot of people because most were not expecting a win for the New York Giants.

Most, like us here at Giants Wire, expected a loss, and some of us even picked the Carolina Panthers to blow out the Giants. And yet, things went the other direction as Big Blue picked up a 25-3 victory at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants still have a long way to go before digging themselves out of the hole they currently find themselves in, but for at least a week they can feel good about a win.

So before the Giants square off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, let’s look at whose stock is up and down.

Giants defeat Panthers: Winners, losers and those in between

Here are the winners, losers and those in between from the New York Giants’ Week 7 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

For just the second time this season, the New York Giants picked up a victory — this time, a 25-3 upset victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Things didn’t look good early, but the Giants weathered the storm and came out strong in the second half. In what felt like the blink of the eye, they were rolling on both sides of the ball and up big on the scoreboard.

Joe Judge & Co. didn’t take their foot off the gas and sailed to their first home win of the year.

Here’s a look at the winners and losers (and those in between) from Week 7.

Giants fall to Rams: Winners, losers and those in between

Here are the winners, losers and those in between from the New York Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

The New York Giants were absolutely manhandled by the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. They were beaten in every imaginable facet and it appears time for heads to roll.

With the loss, the Giants fall to 1-5 on the season and have the NFL’s worst overall record since 2017. With the Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers all on tap, things are not going to get easier.

But before we look ahead, let’s examine the winners and losers (and those in between) from Week 6.

Be prepared, however… There weren’t many winners.

Giants defeat Saints: Winners, losers and those in between

Here are the winners, losers and those in between from the New York Giants’ Week 4 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

The New York Giants rallied from two scores down with under 7:00 remaining in the fourth quarter to push the game into overtime.

After winning the coin toss, the ball was put into the hands of quarterback Daniel Jones and he didn’t look back. He and running back Saquon Barkley put the finishing touches on one of DJ’s best games as a pro.

Here are the winners and losers (and those in between) from Week 4.

Azeez Ojulari, Collin Johnson were highest-graded Giants in Week 3

Rookie edge rusher Azeez Ojulari and wide receiver Collin Johnson were the highest-graded New York Giants in a Week 3 loss to Atlanta.

The New York Giants fell to the Atlanta Falcons, 17-14, in Week 3. That dropped their record to 0-3 on the season and may have started a chain reaction that results in significant change.

Much of what came out of Sunday’s game was negative, but not everything. There were a few small bright spots.

Among them was rookie edge rusher Azeez Ojulari, who picked up his third sack of the season. He also led the team with a 92.2 grade from Pro Football Focus.

Behind Ojulari on the defensive side of the ball were defensive lineman Leonard Williams (83.1), linebacker Tae Crowder (72.2) and defensive back Julian Love (72.0). That’s with a 20-snap minimum.

Other notable defensive grades include cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (71.9), safety Jabrill Peppers (62.1) and linebacker Reggie Ragland (55.6).

The lowest-graded Giants defender was cornerback Rodarius Williams (31.9), but he had just 17 snaps. Safety Logan Ryan, who had 62 snaps, scored the next lowest grade (40.9).

On the offensive side of the ball, wide receiver Collin Johnson shined in place of Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton. He graded out with an 83.2.

Behind Johnson were left tackle Andrew Thomas (82.3), center Billy Price (76.2) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (75.7).

Other notable grades on offense include quarterback Daniel Jones (71.9), running back Saquon Barkley (63.4) and wide receiver Kadarius Toney (54.5).

The lowest-grade Giant on offense will come as little surprise. Guard Ben Bredeson graded out at 31.7 (including pass protection grade of 25.7).
