The Giants beat the Titans 12-7 as kicker Dominic Zvada scored all of New York’s points and Jevon Holland intercepted Cam Ward in the end zone in the final minute, stopping Tennessee’s drive for a potential winning score. New York’s defense recorded no sacks.
Jameis Winston threw for 117 yards; his only pass beyond 20 yards was complete, while 17 of his 21 attempts were shorter than 10 yards or behind the line of scrimmage. Najee Harris gained 52 yards on nine carries. The writer noted rain and wind but said the Giants repeatedly failed to finish drives with touchdowns. Center John Michael Schmitz gave up a sack against Jeffery Simmons after struggling the previous week; the writer said Schmitz’s starting role may be nearing its end.
The Giants pressured Ward four times, and he passed for 179 yards. The writer said New York’s run defense had improved but criticized its pass rush and secondary; Colton Hood was targeted six times, allowing five catches and a touchdown. Holland’s interception was his third of the season.
