Giants grades: Another F for the defense

One touchdown pass and three interceptions from Daniel Jones is not a recipe for success. The Giants found a few chunk plays, which have been hard to come by, as Jones hit Cody Latimer for 43 yards, hit Kaden Smith for 32, and Saquon Barkley had three runs of 10 or more yards for the first time since Week 2 against the Bills. But they had trouble sustaining drives (5-for-14 on third downs) and had just one touchdown in three red zone trips, including settling for a field goal when they reached the Packers’ 9.

DEFENSE: F

Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes and completed 21 of 33 for 243 yards against a Giants secondary that looks more like a fourth-quarter-of-the-fourth-preseason-game group than a starting unit.
