The New York Giants upset the Tennessee Titans, 21-20, in Week 1 to win their first season-opener in six years. A missed field goal by Titans’ kicker Randy Bullock helped the Giants complete a last-minute rally in Brian Daboll's head coaching debut.
Offensive spotlight: Running back Saquon Barkley tallied 112 yards after contact as the Giants committed to the ground game. The Penn State standout accumulated three explosive runs, four first-down rushes and a game-changing touchdown on just 14 carries.
Defensive spotlight: Seven total pressures — five hurries and two sacks — headlined Jeffery Simmons‘ dominance. His reign of terror against the Giants’ offensive line earned him a pending 93.3 overall grade to accompany his 91.6 pass-rushing grade.
Rookie spotlight: Treylon Burks produced when targeted despite playing only 14 receiving snaps. The rookie from Arkansas snagged three of his six targets for two first downs and 55 total yards to complete a 78.3 receiving grade.
Offensive line spotlight: Evan Neal, the Giants’ 2022 first-round pick, had his troubles as a run-blocker on 29 snaps. He was a bit more promising as a pass-blocker, allowing just one total pressure across 31 pass-blocking snaps.
