That lower play-action rate is notable because Daniel Jones was at 34% in the regular season. Only Tua Tagovailoa, Lamar Jackson and the Falcons quarterbacks checked in higher among passers to play 10-plus games.
Jones didn’t need the play-fake as much; he sliced through the Vikings defense with ease on traditional dropbacks.
The Giants made great use of Isaiah Hodgins on option routes as a slot receiver. Normally a pure perimeter player, Hodgins caught all five of his targets when lined up inside and managed 2.72 yards per route run.
