Narrative

Daniels getting picked off by Jevon Holland on his 208th pass attempt and Ar’Darius Washington on his 211th looked like it would haunt Washington, which allowed J.J. McCarthy and Isaiah Likely to hook up for a 66-yard, go-ahead TD midway through the fourth quarter. But the Giants were unable to move the ball effectively enough on the ground to run the clock.
