Micah McFadden: McFadden had earned the right to start over Tae Crowder, who we will touch on in a moment, but he seems overmatched out there. He’s constantly trailing or trying to catch up from behind, and is often out of place. His coverage is a real liability for the Giants.
Jaylon Smith, Tae Crowder: The linebacker duo ran into each other on a blitz in second quarter, which ended up taking both players away from the play. It was a big gain for Dallas. Crowder was limited to just eight snaps in this game and that was his contribution.
Darnay Holmes: Holmes made some decent plays throughout the game, but they were outweighed by some ugly coverage moments and penalties (at least one of those was very questionable).
Saquon Barkley: Is Barkley hurt? He seems ineffective with the ball in his hands and while he is being met behind the line of scrimmage, other backs on the team are out-rushing him in the same situations. And while a fourth down throw from Daniel Jones wasn’t perfect, Barkley — the team’s superstar — couldn’t come up with it, sealing the loss for New York.
