Meanwhile, the Giants' quarterback Daniel Jones was also playing efficiently, completing 13 out of 15 passes for 142 yards, but the Giants struggled to convert their drives into touchdowns, settling for field goals instead【12†source】【13†source】.
The Giants' kicker, Greg Joseph, was busy during the game, hitting multiple field goals to keep the game close, including a 22-yard field goal in the third quarter that brought the Giants within two points at 14-12【12†source 】【13†source】.
