Grading the Giants: Defense aces test in Seattle

It wasn’t explosive. It wasn’t pretty. But gosh was it effective. The offensive line bullied its way through the Seahawks and the backs carved out 190 rushing yards, including a 60-yard run from Wayne Gallman early in the third quarter that changed the entire complexion of the game. The only mark against backup quarterback Colt McCoy was his interception in the red zone, which wasn’t even his fault and went off the hands of Evan Engram (as so many often do). The two made up for it with a key first down with 5:15 left that kept the ball away from Seattle a little longer.
