The New York Giants came in to Week 10 fresh off the bye hoping to get back on their winning ways hosting the Houston Texans.
The Giants opened as almost seven-point favorites but the line adjusted in Houston’s favor as the week progressed and Big Blue were just 4.5-point favorites as of Sunday Morning.
The Giants were excited to welcome back Kenny Golladay. However, that didn’t last long as Golladay had two drops in the first half and found himself benched in the second half.
Big Blue made a ton of mistakes against arguably the worst team in football and the game was way closer than it needed to be. However, the Giants still improved to 7-2.
Here how Twitter reacted to the win.
Kenny Golladay not in the lineup to begin the third quarter. Giants WR: Isaiah Hodgins, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton.

Darius Slayton reached a top speed of 20.97 mph on his 54-yard TD reception, his fastest speed as a ball carrier in his career.
Slayton gained +34 YAC over expected, the most by a Giants' player on a reception over the last 3 seasons.#HOUvsNYG | #TogetherBlue pic.twitter.com/1thhOHq5r6

Everyone buried and cut Slayton.
He just stayed patient kept his head down and took advantage of his opportunity. Get the checkbook out Giants. #TogetherBlue

Dexter Lawrence, BTW, is having a MONSTER game. Five tackles, one sack, 5 QBHs, one pass breakup. Should be NFC Defensive POTW winner IMO.

What a turn of events. Dex forces a hold that negates a TD. Dane Belton picks off Mills in the endzone on the next play.
Giants playing winning football near the end of this game. #HOUvsNYG

Saquon Barkley now has 32 carries. That's a career-high. Previous career-high was 31. #Giants

Congratulations to @dbelton_ On Your First Career INT! First Of Many!

The latest Kenny Golladay experiment lasted less than 2 quarters. He hasn't played in the second half and has been replaced by recent waiver-claim Isaiah Hodgins.
Hodgins had a 26-yard reception on this latest TD drive. #Giants

Don't tell Sterling Shepard that the Giants don't have cheerleaders.

One more drop and I take away Golladay's helmet. Enough is enough.

The Giants strength: Running the ball. Weakness: Stopping the run.
The Texans also like to run the ball with Dameon Pierce. Weakness: Stopping the run.
Not expecting a lot of passes today here at MetLife Stadium.

7-2 😤#TogetherBlue

Saquon Barkley 35 carries for 152 yards and a TD. Giants win 24-16. They are 7-2 with the Lions at home next week on deck.

What Jones and the Giants are doing without even a WR2 is unreal.
