For someone who didn’t even show up in the box score, the Giants couldn’t say enough good things about Jon Beason’s return to the field.
The veteran middle linebacker — a near-unanimous selection as a team captain this season — made his first appearance in almost a year on Thursday night, and teammates didn’t consider it a coincidence that Big Blue’s much-needed first victory over the season was the result.
Never mind that Beason played roughly 35 snaps in the 32-21 win over the Redskins at MetLife Stadium without being able to crack the defensive statistical chart.
