S Jason Pinnock’s 102-yard pick-six Sunday is the longest play of the season NFL-wide and provided Big Blue’s first TD before halftime this season. Some consolation for a team that hasn’t run an offensive play with the lead yet and has now been outscored by a league-most 91 points.

Brian Daboll and the Giants are playing like the team everyone expected them to be … in 2022.

Jarrett Bailey, Touchdown Wire:
Every time Daniel Jones touches the ball, the opposing defense gets their spears, yells “charge” and then destroys him with the strength of a thousand Spartan warriors. Plus, without Saquon Barkley, no one on that offense scares you besides Darren Waller… who has been a complete non-factor.

Dalton Miller, Pro Football Network:
The New York Giants are an offensive dumpster fire. Even against a Dolphins defense with a somewhat depleted secondary and no Jaelan Phillips, they could manage almost nothing through the air or on the ground. And they still can’t protect Daniel Jones, who left the game with a neck injury after being sacked for the sixth time.

The offensive line has broken down with injuries. Saquon Barkley remains on the shelf with a bad ankle. Now Daniel Jones has a neck injury and Wan’Dale Robinson suffered a concussion in Miami. The defense also stinks. And the Bills are next.

It’s hard to rank anyone behind the Giants. Any of the bottom three could be the worst team in football. And it won’t get better if QB Daniel Jones has to miss any time. Head coach Brian Daboll’s challenge the rest of the season is making sure this doesn’t turn into a one- or two-win fiasco with the club looking like it has quit. It’s already the least competitive team in the NFL.

Daniel Jones has been sacked 17 times in the past two games and left Sunday’s contest with an injury. It’s about time to turn out the lights on the 2023 Giants.
