The Giants are officially making a statement this season. The red and blue are sitting at 6-1 for the first time in 14 years after earning a tight 23-17 victory over Jacksonville during their Week 7 matchup.
The last play said it all. After a nice throw from Jags QB Trevor Lawrence to receiver Christian Kirk, Giants cornerback Fabian Moreau stopped Kirk before he could make it to the end zone.
The Giants escaped with yet another victory, but the game was fairly close throughout.
