Giants Hang On to Defeat Browns 21-15

The Giants proved it’s not about how you start. After they lost a fumble on the opening kickoff and gave up a touchdown in the first 11 seconds of the game, the Giants scored 21 unanswered points in Cleveland and held on for a 21-15 victory, their first of the season.

The New York Giants looked like they were headed toward another humiliating loss on Sunday. But for Daniel Jones & Co, the lights went on.

Suddenly, the Giants looked like an entirely different team. Both the offense and defense were clicking and picking up the special teams unit, which continues to be a problem.

The second half was a bit of a slog for the Giants and they nearly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, but some timely defensive plays and self-inflicted Browns wounds sealed the game.

Malik Nabers made several incredible catches en route to eight receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns. He had 82 total yards from scrimmage. Nabers was the difference-maker for the Giants.

QB Daniel Jones played a high-level game against a tough Browns secondary. He finished with 24-of-34 for 236 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 20 yards on the ground and was harmed by three dropped passes.
