[Nirvana]

TOP 5 GRADES:
LB Sean Lee, 90.8 overall grade

CB Anthony Brown, 90.5 overall grade

G Zack Martin, 86.1 overall grade

RB Ezekiel Elliott, 82.4 overall grade

WR Terrance Williams, 81.7 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
RB EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, 82.4 OVERALL GRADE
Despite all the surrounding circumstances with Ezekiel Elliott, he was able to put that behind him and continue on from his rookie campaign, gaining 77 of his 104 yards after contact, and forcing 6 missed tackles in the run game.

QB DAK PRESCOTT, 74.4 OVERALL GRADE
Elliott may have had the better game, but Dak Prescott showed that his rookie year was also not a fluke season, as he showed the same patience to not force the ball into bad situations and the understanding that he could rely on a dominant run game . Prescott completed 19-23 passes under 10 yards for 189 yards

LB SEAN LEE, 90.8 OVERALL GRADE
Sean Lee has the well-earned reputation for flying around the field and always being near the ball, and that’s exactly what he did Sunday night. Lee was targeted 11 times in coverage, but the eight catches he allowed went for a combined 31 yards as he kept everything in front of him. In all, he had six defensive stops on the night, tied for the league-lead as of Sunday night.

CB ANTHONY BROWN, 90.5 OVERALL GRADE
After CB Orlando Scandrick left the game early in the first quarter, Anthony Brown stepped up in coverage. Brown was targeted four times on 39 snaps in coverage, allowing just one six yard catch to Sterling Shepard, and picking off Eli Manning on a slant.

TOP 5 GRADES:
S Landon Collins, 92.7 overall grade

DI Dalvin Tomlinson, 84.6 overall grade

DI Damon Harrison, 80.2 overall grade

LB B.J. Goodson, 80.0 overall grade

C Weston Richburg, 78.8 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
QB ELI MANNING, 52.2 OVERALL GRADE
The Giants offense struggled to sustain drives throughout the game, and the ineffectiveness of the running game put even more pressure on Manning. He had a reasonable 78.4 percent adjusted completion percentage, but he completed just four passes targeted further than 10 yards downfield and nearly 50 percent of his passing yards game after the catch.

TE EVAN ENGRAM, 72.0 OVERALL GRADE
Engram had the longest reception on the night for New York – 31 yards – and was the highest-graded skill player on the Giants’ offense. However, outside of that long catch and run, he made little impact in his NFL debut. He didn’t fare that well as a blocker either, as he was beaten for a pressure and allowed a couple run stops as a run blocker.

CB JANORIS JENKINS, 77.3 OVERALL GRADE
Jenkins was able to effectively keep Dez Bryant quite for another game. He allowed 2 completions (on 7 targets) for 43 yards, with the biggest going for 35 yards with a missed tackle on the play. Outside of that play, Jenkins was consistently on Bryant’s hip for the majority of the game, leaving a small window for any passes to be completed.

S LANDON COLLINS, 92.7 OVERALL GRADE
Landon Collins, who has become one of the best safeties in the game, looks ready to cement that status. Tonight, he was a force on the field. As a run defender, he recorded 4 stops in the game and against the pass, he allowed 1 catch for 3 yards and knocked down another throw.

Landon Collins got pushed back, juked out and ran over throughout the game. Dunno how he got a 92.

 

[mickswag]

But I thought Dak looked bad? At least that's what another thread here told me.

Yes Collins is overrated and i don't get it

 

[wick]

Demarcus Lawrence wasn't in the top five?

 

[sacase]

I was gonna say how did Landon Collins rate that high. I saw Zeke run him over several times. He was constantly getting pushed back and was little help in the run game.

He's a good player, but a gimpy TWill made him look silly and a got an extra 5 yards. Zeke ran him over repeatedly and got an extra 2 yards every time they made contact.

I think that score is based on reputation.

I'm not saying he isn't a good player but he isn't great. I agree he is living off reputation then actual play on the field. He was late getting to Witten on the TD as well

If Dak would have thrown a better ball (on time) TWill had Collins beat for a big play.

I'd definitely agree with that assessment. Roy Williams was better than he was his first three years and then we saw a drop off. I could see that happen to Collins.

That's a great comparison. He struggles in coverage at times

Yeah there was one play where Zeke was being brought down by Snacks or the rookie DT and still knocked Collins on his butt.
