Darius Slayton and Markus Golden are bright spots

Darius Slayton has been targeted more than any other Giants receiver this season. Why? Because he works hard and never gives up, no matter the score or who’s guarding him. He has 42 receptions for 659 yards and seven touchdowns this season. No turnovers, which makes him highly valuable on this team.

Markus Golden brings his A game every week. He has 57 tackles (31 solo), 8.5 sacks and a fumble recovery this season. But it’s not his stats that make him a bright spot, it’s his energy. He never stops and gives 110% effort every single play, every single down, every single game. If the rest of the defense put forth as much effort as he did for the entirety of the game, some of the results this season might be different.
