The New York Giants hosted the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6 matchup among two of the better teams in the NFL thus far this season.
Buy Giants TicketsThe Giants came in sporting a 4-1 record and hoping to extend their two-game winning streak.
The defense had trouble stopping the Ravens all day as both the rushing game and Mark Andrews torched the Giants.
The Giants fell behind, 20-10, on a touchdown by Andrews with 12:54 left in the fourth quarter. On the ensuing series, the Giants would drive down the field and score a touchdown with 6:01 remaining via a hookup from Daniel Jones to Daniel Bellinger. The Giants pulled to within three but their defense would have to get a stop.
The Ravens’ next drive was where things got dicey. On a third-and-6 there was a muffed snap where Lamar Jackson chased down the ball before throwing an interception to Julian Love.
The Giants would eventually punch it in the red zone with a Saquon Barkley touchdown to take a 24-20 lead.
On the Ravens’ next drive, Kayvon Thibodeaux came up big with the first sack of his career by stripping the ball away from Jackson. Leonard Williams recovered the fumble giving the Giants the ball back.
The Giants iced the game to improve to 5-1. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the big win:
Sure looked like that snap was more than a beat after the play clock hit 0. But no flag and Jackson hits Mark Andrews for a 12-yard TD.

Daniel Jones to Daniel Bellinger. Giants touchdown from 8 yards out and with 6:01 left there's life in the home team.

Pretty awful decision by Lamar Jackson. Giants now with a chance to take the lead. At Baltimore's 13-yard line.

Crazy to think. If I had Brian Daboll when I was in NY, I might still be playing…

Daniel Jones intercepted in the end zone on a throw to Slayton, but should be Ravens' DPI

This Giants team is just so resilient. Hard to even explain. Up 24-20 with 1:43 remaining.

Big-time players make big players and big games. Welcome to the New York Giants #5 Kayvon Thibodeaux!!!

Kayvon Thibodeaux with his first career sack. What a time! The Giants are going to beat the Ravens. Wow!

John Harbaugh to The Post the day Wink Martindale got hired: "Giants fans are really going to like his style. He will be in attack mode. He's definitely one of the best defensive play-callers in the league."

The #Giants are winning because they're playing complementary football, and Brian Daboll has this team believing in itself in big moments late. As impressive a coaching job on all fronts as I've seen in a while.

Ahhhhhhhh!!! #NYG 5-1

Huge play for the rookie @kayvont! Clear example of why you draft pass rusher with premium picks. They’re like closers in baseball, they win games #Giants

Saquon Barkley has slid twice on this drive. Had a touchdown, but gave himself up at the 2.
— Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) October 16, 2022
What a big time, intelligent, and unselfish move by @saquon. He could’ve gone stat hunting to bolster his opportunities for $ but he didn’t. He took the smart, for sure team win play by sliding…
There’s been no better resurgence in the NFL, & no better dude it could happen to.
