The Giants are 2-0 for the first time since 2016, giving Brian Daboll two wins to start his head coaching career.
It is possible to win ugly, but for a franchise that has lost ugly for so long, any win at all is a thing of beauty and a sight to behold. Thus, the Giants outlasting the Panthers 19-16 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium looks like a work of art.
The Giants needed a defensive stop to secure the game and they got it when coordinator Wink Martindale dialed into his well-known aggression and called for a blitz on third down. Safety Julian Love stormed through and dropped Baker Mayfield for a 9-yard loss, forcing a Panthers punt. The Giants got the ball back at 2:06 and never gave it back, as Daniel Jones scrambled for 11 yards for a first down to seal the deal.
Christian McCaffrey’s 49-yard burst set up Eddie Pineiro’s 38-yard field goal to make it 16-16 with 10:46 remaining. Oshane Ximines, playing with force as a starting outside linebacker with injuries keeping rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari on the bench, pressured Mayfield on third down to force the Panthers to settle for the field goal.
