The New York Giants emerged victorious over the Carolina Panthers in a surprising turn of events in Week 7. After being demolished by the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6 at home, the Giants bounced back in a strong way, holding the Panthers to just three points.
Despite starting off slow, the Giants pulled away in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 of their 25 points, courtesy of two field goals by Graham Gano and a touchdown run by Devontae Booker to put the game out of arms reach for Carolina.
However, the performance of the defense stood out as a catalyst in the victory, holding quarterback Sam Darnold to just 111 passing yards and 56 total rushing yards on the afternoon.
