The Giants came out of the bye-week break on Sunday and looked like — the Giants.
They relied on Saquon Barkley’s massive legs and Daniel Jones’ increasing maturity. They played defense aggressively and often effectively. There were moments when you wondered if the offense could get anything accomplished and other moments when you could envision a bad loss brewing.
The Giants were in control almost all afternoon down on the field but rarely completely in control on the scoreboard at MetLife Stadium. This is a new team and this is a new season, and the Giants opened up the second half the way they moved through the first half of their season. They did enough to win, beating the lowly Texans 24-16, disposing of an inferior opponent uneasily and yet effectively.

This was the first time the Giants won this season without first falling behind. They trailed in all six of their previous victories. The Texans lost their fourth consecutive game.
