Headlines from the New York Giants' Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks

Let's face it, Daniel Jones rarely gets the credit he deserves because the Giants have been doing pretty poorly lately. But today against the Seahawks, Jones took the lead, showed poise and confidence and made smart decisions with the football. He completed 23 of 34 pass attempts for 257 yards and two touchdowns, adding 38 yards on the ground. He didn't intercept.

With Devin Singletary inactive on Sunday, the Giants expected Eric Gray to take over the ground game, and he failed. Not only was his fumble returned over 100 yards for a Seattle touchdown, but he was also unable to progress on the ground, completing only four runs for four yards. He did have 50 yards, but his impact was less than the Giants expected today.

Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. took over where Eric Gray failed. Tracy showed his speed, agility and ability to hold the ball with 18 carries for 129 yards. He didn't score any points, but he handled the ground game without any problems and cemented his place as an RB2 going forward.

Darius Slayton started the game a bit rocky but was able to redeem himself as the game progressed. He finished the game with eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown, but tonight he was all over the field. At the end of the game you could see how heavy his body was as he tried to recover from a tackle. He brought his best into this game and deserves a lot of credit for stepping up when Malik Nabers couldn't be on the field.

Dexter Lawrence is quickly making his case for Defensive Player of the Year. Nothing will make your day better than watching a 6-foot, 300-pound defensive tackle do a summer lunge after a stop, and Lawrence did it today. He totaled four tackles (two solo), 3.0 sacks, two tackles for a loss and four QB hits. This guy is a beast – he's on the field for almost every single snap and wreaks havoc everywhere he goes. The Seahawks had no answer for Sexy Dexy and the result was a serious display of athletic prowess.

The Giants have been waiting for Deonte Banks to figure out how to make an impact in this league, and on Sunday he finally made some positive decisions. It was one step forward and two steps back at times, but against the Seahawks and DK Metcalf he bounced back with a vengeance. He finished the game with six tackles (two solo) and three passes defensed, his best total of the year.

Wan'Dale Robinson caught six of nine passes thrown his way today. Two of those misses were drops at critical moments in the game – drops that he should have caught – which is why he's a foolhardy idiot. He had a total of 36 receiving yards, one touchdown, and he ran the ball once for four yards.
