The Giants did more on offense in this loss than they have in several victories this season, which was encouraging for them and also frustrating for them.
and also frustrating for them. They scored two touchdowns and Graham Gano kicked three field goals and that is more production than usual for a team that is too often challenged to put together one good drive and then another, and then another.
Jones completed a career-high 30 passes. Three Giants — Saquon Barkley, Isaiah Hodgins and Richie James — had eight receptions, and that two of them, Hodgins and James, are wide receivers makes this a rarity for a team that has traversed this season without, for one reason or another, its projected top four targets: Sterling Shepard , Kadarius Toney , Kenny Golladay and rookie Wan’Dale Robinson .
There was an interception thrown by Jones when he slightly threw behind Hodgins and was picked off by Patrick Peterson — after the unheralded Hodgins. There was a fumble by rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger with the Giants nearing the red zone. There was a costly third-down drop by James, who otherwise played a strong game. There were holding penalties on left guard Nick Gates and center Jon Feliciano to compromise possessions.
The Giants on offense saved their best for last. Trailing 24-16 with three minutes remaining, Jones connected with Slayton for 32 yards to breathe life into a desperation drive. Barkley capped it by finding a lane up the middle and exploiting a gap in the Vikings defense on a 27-yard touchdown burst to bring the Giants within 24-22 with 2:01 to go. The got-to-have-it two-point conversion play called for Jones to roll to his right and locate one of his targets.
