RAVENS 27 - GIANTS 13
Kiss the playoffs goodbye. The Giants will not be participating in the playoffs this season after a complete no-show performance against the Baltimore Ravens, who pounded New York 27-13 -- and it wasn't even that close.
Two long touchdown drives by Lamar Jackson in the opening quarter, pretty much doomed Big Blue's chances. The Ravens opened the game, ramming it down the Giants throat on a 13-play, 82-yard drive that ate 8:12 off the clock before Jackson found Marquise "Hollywood" Brown in the end zone for a six-yard score to make it 7-0.
J.K. Dobbins two-yard plunge with seven seconds remaining in the first quarter, gave Baltimore a 14-0 advantage.
As for the Giants, they spent much of the day stuck in neutral offensively. The only fight the showed, the game was already decided when they were down 27-6 in the fourth quarter. While Daniel Jones' numbers were ok, he was under siege for the entire game, sacked six times for a loss of 52 yards.
Meanwhile, the Giants couldn't get anything going on the ground as they ran for a grand total of 54 yards as team. In case you are wondering Lamar Jackson had 80 yards by himself for the Ravens.
Jackson did whatever he wanted to. Whether it be by air or by ground, Action Jackson was impossible for Big Blue to stop on Sunday.
About the the only way the Giants could even conceive of keeping their playoff hopes alive, is if Washington loses out. Right now they trail Carolina 20-0.
