Grades and advanced stats from the Giants’ loss to the Saints

Anthony Del Genio analyzes the New York Giants' performance and advanced metrics following their loss to the New Orleans Saints. After falling behind 34-10 at home, New York mounted a late comeback led by quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who posted 243 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the fourth quarter. McCarthy replaced starter Jameis Winston, who struggled with two interceptions and one touchdown on the day.

According to Pro Football Focus grades highlighted by Del Genio, wide receiver Malik Nabers and defensive tackle D.J. Reader were among the Giants' top performers. Tight end Isaiah Likely also graded strongly, continuing his league-leading receiving yardage among tight ends. However, the Giants struggled significantly across the offensive line in run blocking and saw poor grades throughout their depleted cornerback room.
