The New York Giants headed down to Jacksonville riding a three-game winning streak headed into their matchup against the Jaguars.
Buy Giants TicketsIt was a game that was filled with sloppy play and plenty of drops by the Giants receivers, and struggles to stop the Jaguars running game.
The Giants also suffered a few big injuries on the day including Evan Neal, Daniel Bellinger and Ben Bredeson. The team also lost cornerback Adoree’ Jackson for a short amount of time in the fourth quarter
The Giants trailed 17-13 in the fourth when they came up with a massive stop on fourth-and-1 on a quarterback sneak by Trevor Lawrence at the Giants’ 20-yard line. The stop gave the Giants the ball with 11:30 left in the game.
On the ensuing drive, the Giants would drive down the field and Daniel Jones would score on a quarterback sneak to conclude a 10-play, 79-yard drive.
The Jaguars would go three-and-out on the following drive and the Giants burn some clock before concluding the drive with a 34-yard field goal that was partially blocked but went through the uprights to give the Giants a six-point lead.
On the Jaguars’ final drive, they would get to the Giants red zone due to a fourth-and-15 conversion. The play would have an extra 15 yards tacked on due to a questionable Leonard Williams roughing the passer call.
The game would end on a pass to Christian Kirk who was stopped close to the goal line and brought down as time expired.
The Giants would hold on in a dramatic ending to improve to 6-1 on the season and extend their winning streak to four straight games.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the win:
Daniel Jones has put this team on his back today.

Daniel Jones breaks off a 24-yard run for a first down, smacks the ground. Knew he almost housed that one.

Touchdown Daniel Jones.
Keeper from one yard out.
5:31 left.

Giants CB1 Adoree' Jackson is back in the game.

This just in: Daniel Jones is a damn good player. #Giants

Giants have two 100-yard rushers (Barkley and Jones) for the first time in 12 years.
— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) October 23, 2022
Officials are taking a look at this one to see if Saquon Barkley went out of bounds on his last run.
Giants took a timeout with :25 left, but there will be more time on the clock if it is determined Barkley went out of bounds.

Graham Gano adds to the lead with a 34-yard FG.
GIANTS 23, JAGUARS 17

Lol at the books making the Giants 3 point dogs to the Jaguars. Every week, same discussion. “Giants are a fraudulent team” yet here they go winning again. 🤷🏻♂️

Major props to this team. They just kept going despite all the injuries & a crap performance from their WRs #NYG #TogetherBlue

Keep telling yourself Daniel Jones isn’t any good. Or actually watch a Giants game this year.

Come on “Big Sexy” it’s your time to shine again! We need one more close out play my dude.

The Giants might wind up being the "worst" 15-1 team of all time at this point.
— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) October 23, 2022
Oh my. On 3rd & 15 the #Jaguars called a double pass. Lawrence – Kirk – Etienne.
Problem: Etienne fell down.
Incomplete.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) October 23, 2022
Daniel Jones is the first quarterback in Giants history with 200+ passing yards & 100+ rushing yards in a single-game. #TogetherBlue

That is a horrible roughing the passer call on Giants DL Leonard Williams.
The NFL has to stop this madness. He basically hit QB Trevor Lawrence just as he threw.
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RalphVacchiano) October 23, 2022
The #Giants give up a huge 4th and 15 for 28 yards then a roughing the passer on Leonard for an extra 15.
Sadly, this game should've been long over after the interception was reversed by a phantom "hands to the face" call the broadcast team couldn't even find. #TogetherBlue— Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL) October 23, 2022
It’s to the point where you expect the #Giants to win the game in the fourth quarter. Some of the cleanest, most well-coached football you could want.

Completion to Kirk to the 1 and Giants keep him out of the end zone as time expired.
Incredible finish. Giants are 6-1.

Great win!
Saquon and Leonard need do take like 20 laps for making that game 30mins longer than it should have been. 😱😱😱#TogetherBlue
