Giants Player Stats

Quarterback
| Player | Completions/Attempts | Passing Yards | TD | INT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daniel Jones | 22/37 | 190 | 0 | 2 |
Jones did not throw a touchdown pass, and he threw two interceptions. One of them came in the red zone, which means he was close to the end zone, and it hurt the team. But he also ran the ball seven times for 26 yards and a touchdown, and he led the drive that tied the game late in the fourth quarter.
Rushing
| Player | Carries | Yards | TD | Longest Run |

| Malik Nabers | 1 | -2 | 0 | 0 |
Tracy had a strong day with more than 100 yards. His only big mistake was the fumble that started overtime, and he also fumbled once earlier in the game, so he had two fumbles in total.
