NFL Week 5 Recap: New York Giants 29, Seattle Seahawks 20
Daniel Jones, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Darius Slayton formed the three-headed offensive dragon for the New York Giants. And Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux did so on defense, all excelling in their respective departments in a 29-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
The defensive trio, pending final reviews, combined for 15 quarterback pressures, including six sacks.
Jones, also pending final reviews, earned his best PFF passing grade since Week 2 of last season (although he missed most of the year due to injury). The rookie Tracy handled a career-high 18 carries and went over the century mark (129 rushing yards) on the ground. Slayton was Jones’ top receiver and caught three of his four contested targets on the day.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Entering Week 5, Deonte Banks had allowed a league-high four touchdowns into his coverage, with the fifth-most yards surrendered (259) and just two forced incompletions.
Banks blanketed the Seahawks’ receivers, though, and forced three incompletions in the game alone, pending finals reviews. The second-year cornerback let up just two catches for 17 yards in, by far, his best coverage showing of the year.
