The New York Giants improved to 4-8 on the season with a 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots at a rainy MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
With the win, the Giants keep their extremely thin NFC playoff hopes alive — they are 2.5 games back — and now have an opportunity to rest during the bye week.
While the game itself was far from pretty, there were a few players who put quality play on film and stood out. There were also a few who underwhelmed.
