Who played well for the Giants, and who did not
Let’s review Monday night’s gritty, but mistake-filled, 26-18 loss by the New York Giants to the Pittsburgh Steelers in our unique ‘Kudos & Wet Willies’ style.

Tracy had 20 carries for 145 yards. He had explosive carries, like his 45-yard touchdown run. He...

Finding ways to lose
The schedule makers did the New York Giants no favors this season, front-loading them with tough opponents in the first half of the season for the second year in a row. The Pittsburgh Steelers, with one of the NFL’s best defensive lines in the NFL, weren’t exactly what the doctor ordered for a Giants offense that is hurting at both tackle positions and chronically anemic in getting the ball downfield and putting points on the board. The death watch was on for Daniel Jones’ tenure as Giants’ starting quarterback after capital offense performances against Cincinnati and...

The Giants lose one of their bright spots on offense
New York York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in the NFL’s concussion protocol after slamming the back of his head on the turf late in the Giants’ 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.
Tracy left the field following a 2-yard run with roughly 4 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Steelers defensive lineman Cam Hayward made the tackle, hitting Tracy hard and landing on him to ensure the dynamic rookie was unable to pick up yards after contact. Hayward quickly called trainers over...

Brian Daboll says Daniel Jones “feels terrible” about not getting the protection set properly
On the biggest play of Monday night’s game, a strip-sack of New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones by Pittsburgh Steelers future Hall of Fame edge defender T.J. Watt, the biggest question was why the Giants left right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor 1-on-1 with Watt.
ESPN commentator Troy Aikman asked it. Fans on social media were asking it. Turns out Eluemunor was probably asking it, too, since he was expecting help.
“He [Watt] was supposed to be chipped,” said head coach Brian Daboll. “Jermaine was anticipating a chip.”...

Exactly what led to the move is unclear
Deonte Banks, whose effort has been questioned a number of times this season, appeared to be benched by the New York Giants in the second quarter of Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Banks, who did not appear to suffer an injury, was replaced by Greg Stroman for the final two defensive series of the first half.
“Just thought needed a little bit more on that series,” said head coach Brian Daboll. “had a conversation with him. Went with the other guys.”
Here, from social media, is what reporters on the scene...
