5 plays that mattered in Giants’ victory over Bengals

The New York Giants earned their second straight preseason victory Sunday night to begin their quest toward consistent competence in the Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll era. Both of their opponents decided not to play their starters. Still, the Giants and winning haven’t been synonymous in the last decade, so, as Good Charlotte intended, let’s try and appreciate the little things.

The Giants defeated the defending AFC champions, 25-22, off two fourth-quarter Davis Webb-led drives. The Giants’ offense went north of 400 yards for the second consecutive week. New York was 9 of 16 on third down and two of three in fourth-down conversions.
