Daniel Jones was 22-for-34 with 176 passing yards and a touchdown pass. The offense was geared toward Richie James for the second straight game. He had five catches on six targets for 51 yards. Missing from the production totals was Kenny Golladay, while Kadarius Toney had two catches on three targets but failed to get any positive yards.
Giants coach Brian Daboll was asked in the postgame about Golladay and Toney. Golladay signed a four-year, $72 million deal before the start of the 2021 season.

"It’s a continual competition at receiver. I’ve said it since when? I’m not being a jerk. I’ve said it since the middle of camp, right? It hasn’t changed. It’s going to be a continual competition," Daboll said.
"Kadarius had opportunities today, and we’ll see what it is next week: maybe it’s (Darius) Slayton, maybe it’s more KG. We’ll see where we go with that. But I think that position, we’re just going to keep on rolling guys and play the guys that week that we think would give us the best chance. And the other guys got to be ready as backups."
Daboll said Golladay has been handling the new situation "like a pro."
