Grading the Giants’ 28-20 loss to the Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday.
This is going to be a problem until this unit finds a way to get Saquon Barkley (11-39) going in the running game. Daniel Jones (21-for-35, 228 yards, 1 TD) needed to get things going with his legs, but he did not. He had three carries for 14 yards. Going 3-for-11 on third-down conversions was deadly.
An illegal downfield call on RT Tyre Phillips called back a TD for a killer penalty. WR Darius Slayton made an incredible leaping grab vs. CB Anthony Brown for a 44-yard gain to the Dallas 1-yard line. LT Andrew Thomas was ill and allowed his first two sacks of the season when Micah Parsons went wide around him twice to reach and drop Jones. The second half was dismal all around.
Grade: D.
A failure to get off the field (Dallas was 7-for-11 on third down) was the difference.
