Instant Analysis: Giants fall to Ravens, 35-14
WHAT LEARNED ABOUT THE OFFENSE
The Giants had another switch at quarterback in Week 15, starting Tommy DeVito after Drew Lock suffered heel and left elbow injuries in last week’s loss to the Saints. While Lock served as the emergency third quarterback, DeVito made his second start of the season, eighth overall in his career. The Giants also signed Tim Boyle off the practice squad to serve as the backup quarterback.
To complicate matters further, DeVito sustained a concussion at the end of the first half. He was replaced by Boyle, who played the entire second half.
Left guard Jon Runyan (ankle) was placed on injured reserve this week, but the Giants got back tackles Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) and Chris Hubbard (knee).
From left to right, the starting offensive line was Eluemunor, Aaron Stinnie, John Michael Schmitz, Greg Van Roten, and Evan Neal.
Through 14 weeks, the Giants were the only NFL team with rookies leading in rushing (Tyrone Tracy Jr.) and receiving (Malik Nabers) touchdowns and the only team with rookies first and second in yards from scrimmage.
Nabers, who entered Sunday needing 12 receptions to break the franchise rookie record, caught 10 passes for 82 yards, including his first touchdown since Week 3. Nabers also drew an 18-yard pass interference penalty, which set up a first-and-goal and eventual two-yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary with 2:15 remaining in the first half. On a nearly identical play, Nabers did the same late in the third quarter to set up a first-and-goal but the Giants turned the ball over on downs.
Tracy led the team with 10 carries for 31 yards, but the Giants managed just 55 yards on 20 attempts (2.8-yard average) as a whole.
