Grading the Giants: Too many mistakes to get into the win column

OFFENSE: For the first time in his career, Daniel Jones started a game and did not throw a TD pass. It ended a streak of 13 straight for him, two shy of the franchise record to start a Giants career (Y.A. Tittle had 15 in a row). What did not stop were his turnovers. The interception may have been a bit unlucky with Evan Engram slipping in his route, but getting stripped of the ball by Robert Quinn followed a fairly familiar form. It gives Jones four turnovers in the first two games. Engram came on late with six catches for 65 yards, both team highs. The Giants were 3-for-13 on third downs, but 3-for-3 on fourth downs, including Dion Lewis' 1-yard touchdown run. That Saquon Barkley left after the first play of the second quarter with a knee injury but still managed to be the team's leading rusher (28 yards on four carries) does not bode well for the team's ability to overcome his absence.
