2 wins in a row for the Giants! Not even Brian Daboll dreamed of it
–
New York Giants (2-0) – Carolina Panthers (0-2): 19-16
And 2! In one end of the match, the Giants went to victory on an 11-yard run from Daniel Jones (22/34, 176 yards, 1TD) in 3 and 6 with less than 2 minutes remaining. A first down that allowed New Yorkers to show off and win 19 to 16.
He is not yet handsome in attack, but Brian Daboll’s men continue to defend well and above all rediscover the flavor of victory. Something too rare in New York in recent years!
Attacks in battle
The “Champagne” fan has come over to your side. In the first half the two franchises offered a very sad show with 4 first downs and 60 yards for the Giants against 9 first downs and 2/7 in the 3 attempts for the Panthers …
In this game it is the Giants who can feed the biggest regrets. In fact, while the defense forced two fumbles by yielding, each time to his attack, the ball in the opponent’s field, Daniel Jones more than slowed down his.
Unimaginative and unable to move forward on the ground (0 yards at half-time), the locals only scored 2 field goals after these turnovers and took the lead 6-0.
For their part, the Panthers return to score (6-6) before the break thanks to two kicks. Here, too, offensive inefficiency took precedence. Proof of this is that it took the Panthers 13 plays to score their first field goal when the second came after a 10 play drive for just 34 yards gained …
A close of the game
Back from the locker room, the attacks end up finding some rhythm. The Panthers made the difference first thanks to some flashes from Baker Mayfield (14/29, 145 yards, 1TD) including a 17-yard run and a nice touchdown pass (6-13) for DJ Moore.

A touchdown that wakes up the Giants and Daniel Jones. The quarterback handled some interesting passes and a nice design play allowed him to find Daniel Bellinger, alone, for the 16-yard touchdown (13-13).

Unfortunately, after this offensive improvement, the defenses resumed and forced 5 consecutive punt. The two teams each record a new field goal (16-16) before the final minutes.
New York was decisive (19-16) with 3 minutes left on Graham Gano’s new kick. Once again the coach could regret a team that fails to finish after 7 minutes of ball possession …
The Panthers have the opportunity to try to come back but the Giants defense secures the shot with a sack from Julius Love with 2 minutes left on 3 & 6! Matt Rhule sends his special team for punt but will never see his men with the ball again.
Still no victory for Baker Mayfield with his new colors. A team of Panthers that seems more than stagnant for some time. A little bit the opposite of the new dynamic instilled by Daboll in the Big Apple.
