Saquon Barkley scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter. (0:20).
The Giants were down 14 points in the first half against the Packers. Don't tell Daniel Jones and the rest of the team that they didn't do well.
Jones led the Giants to a come-from-behind win over the Packers on Sunday. The New York Jets have matched their win total from last year after running back Saquon Barkley ran in the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Jones was playing with an injured ankle. The signature win of his career was produced when he added 10 rushes for 37 yards.
It was even more impressive because Jones wasn't perfect. He injured his ankle in the win over the Bears and didn't have the explosion you're used to seeing from him. Jones was on pace to run over 800 yards.
He didn't have his top four wide receiver and had to leave the game because of an injury. Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay, and Wan' Dale Robinson all missed the game.
The Giants' wide receiver on Sunday were Marcus Johnson and others. Entering the season, it wasn't what they had in mind. Slayton had 6 catches for 69 yards. He had a single catch for 11 yards.
It didn't matter who was missing for the Giants because they had top corner Adoree' Jackson leave after the first half because of an injury. The Giants came back from 17-3 down to win. They scored the final 17 points in the game and kept surprising the league.
New York has not had a winning record in more than two years.
It has been a great start for the new coach. The Giants are in a good position to contend for a playoff spot because of his offensive prowess. They scored 27 points, the most this season.
The Giants were eight point favorites on Sunday.
Green Bay and Rodgers looked like they were going to win easily. In the first half, they punted once.
The Giants coaching staff made the correct adjustments at the half. New York got contributions from a lot of people.
Gary Brightwell got his first touchdown. Jackson was out with an injury, so Jeremy and Nick stepped in. Johnson was elevated from the practice squad and was the leader of the wide receiver group. Tomon Fox made some key plays late and the once-forgotten Oshane Ximines had a sack andfumble to stop Rodgers on the game's final play.
The unheralded players' contributions were crucial to the success of the Giants. Rodgers marched the Packers down the field in the final minutes, only to have a pair of passes tipped in the end zone to win the game.
The last two passes were tipped by the rookies.
