Without their top receiver and running back, the New York Giants scored their most points of the season in a 29-20 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.
Isaiah Simmons sealed the win when he jumped over the line of scrimmage and blocked a potential game-tying field goal, which Bryce Ford-Wheaton returned 60 yards for a touchdown with 55 seconds left in regulation. The Giants improved to 2-3 on the season while the Seahawks fell to 3-2 after consecutive losses.
The Seahawks fell behind the Giants by 10 points with less than 12 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, but it looked like they would force overtime with a Jason Myers field goal with just over a minute left to play in Seattle.
Isaiah Simmons had other ideas. Simmons vaulted over the line and blocked Myers’ attempt to tie the game. Wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton recovered the ball and returned it for a 60-yard touchdown.
The victory was a well-earned one for a Giants team that controlled play despite the absences of wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Devin Singletary. They picked up 421 yards of offense and sacked Geno Smith seven times over the course of the afternoon.
Daniel Jones was 23-of-34 for 257 yards and Tyrone Tracy ran 18 times for 129 yards against a Seahawks defense that lost linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and cornerback Riq Woolen to injuries during the game.
