Giants-Lions: 5 plays that led to New York’s loss

The New York Giants were humbled on Sunday by the now 4-6 Detroit Lions at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The Lions controlled the game and defeated New York, 31-18, in the swirling winds of East Rutherford, N.J.

Big Blue’s formula to victory in this surprisingly successful season isn’t overly complicated. They’ve earned seven wins by playing mistake-free efficient football on offense while establishing the run and working the play-action passing attack.

The defense is an opportunistic unit with sound tacklers who get after the quarterback. The Giants deviated from their preferred method of play because the Lions took away the rushing attack.
