Wayne Gallman, Graham Gano, New York Giants defense close out big win in Daniel Jones’ absence

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones sat on the sideline for a good portion of this game, unfortunately. The second-year player exited in the third quarter after a hamstring injury came at the expense of a scramble up the middle. He tried to return and make it work, but on-field comfort was unattainable, and so veteran backup Colt McCoy finished out the game.

Nonetheless, it’s a team sport, comprising of many individuals other than either quarterback. And luckily for the Giants, a number of those players stepped up in what was a crucial 19-17 victory for Big Blue.
