The New York Giants faced a disappointing 26-18 defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers, plagued by sloppy play and numerous penalties, particularly on offense. Nine of the eleven penalties were offensive, with six occurring pre-snap, highlighting a lack of discipline.
Quarterback Daniel Jones struggled significantly, failing to execute key plays and throwing an interception that sealed the game. Despite some standout performances from skill players like Tyrone Tracy, Jr. and Darius Slayton, the team's run defense was a major concern, allowing 167 rushing yards.
Defensively, the Giants managed to sack Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson four times, but their pass defense remained ineffective overall. Coach Brian Daboll's decision-making was a mixed bag, with some clever clock management overshadowed by poor execution on the field.
