In an attempt to salvage their dwindling playoff chances, the New York Giants have announced that they will not play any home games for the remainder of the season.

Not really, but would you blame them if they decided to forego the air-conditioned seat called MetLife Stadium, where all play is on the road all the time?

You don't need me or a stat sheet to tell you that the Giants played well on defense but terrible on offense in their 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last night. Still, it's useful to see who played how much, and who the folks at Pro Football Focus think played well or poorly, so here we go.

Snap counts

• As has been the case all season, Daniel Jones and the starting offensive line played every snap. We'll see if the series ends next week with Andrew Thomas' left foot injury. We'll also see how long the quarterback streak lasts if Jones continues to fail on home soil.
• With the loss of Devin Singletary, Tyrone Tracy has clearly become the main character who is only occasionally used for an Eric Gray series. The only question now is whether Tracy's eye-opening play has earned him the RB1 position permanently when Singletary returns.
• With Malik Nabers still sidelined, the Giants played a heavy 11 man, with Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt all playing most snaps and Isaiah Hodgins occasionally seeing the field.
• Once again, Theo Johnson had the most TE snaps, with Chris Manhertz and Daniel Bellinger occasionally taking the field. Josh Ezeudu got another play as a jumbo TE.

• Befitting an offense that was only able to reach the end zone once against one of the league's worst defenses, no Giants offensive player was rated elite (80 or higher).
• Among skilled players, Darius Slayton and Tyrone Tracy were at the top end of PFF's average category overall, with Tracy scoring above average in receiving. Tracy had 107 total yards – 57 of which were receiving yards, but he had 61 YAC, meaning he did all the work himself. This is a promising player for a fifth-round draft pick.
• The offensive line didn't have a great game, but PFF didn't see them as that bad:

Overall, Greg Van Roten and Andrew Thomas performed above average, although Thomas gave up two sacks to Trey Hendrickson. The other three offensive linemen were slightly below average, with John Michael Schmitz allowing three pressures and a QB hit.

• Daniel Jones had a terrible game (54.5 total but 48.2 passing):

Jones wasn't quite average, even when kept clean last night, and he was just terrible when put under pressure. His stats under pressure and on the blitz (33.3% of dropbacks) were nearly identical, suggesting that a lot of the pressure last night came from the blitz. His disastrous interception in the red zone came on a blitz. The opposing defense will take note; He'd better come up with hot reads. He didn't have any big plays last night, even though the Bengals' safeties played shallowly and invited him to beat the coverage.

defense

Snap counts

• The Giants dominated time of possession; The defense was only on the field for 53 snaps, while the Bengals defense played 79 snaps. The fact that Cincinnati only had 10 points by the end of the game speaks to a great effort from the defense.
• Brian Burns and Azeez Ojulari played most of the snaps on the edge, but were occasionally caught by Boogie Basham.
• The same was true on the interior for Dexter Lawrence and Rakeem Nunez-Roches, with DJ Davidson, Elijah Chatman and Jordon Riley filling in for them in descending order.
• As usual, Bobby Okereke played every snap and Micah McFadden played about three-quarters of the snaps.
• Plus, as always, Tae Banks and Jason Pinnock played almost every snap and Tyler Nubin played every snap. Cor'Dale Flott and Dru Phillips were on the field more than half the time, while Isaiah Simmons and Adoree' Jackson played occasionally.

• Given that the defense held the Bengals' high-powered offense in check for most of the night, it's no surprise that six players, including five who played more than half the snaps, posted above-average grades.
• Brian Burns (87.8) played his best game as a Giant; Although his pass-rush grade was just 69.1, he had five pressures, including a sack and a QB hit. Azeez Ojulari only posted a grade of 67.2 but had six pressures, including two sacks. Boogie Basham posted a grade of 64.9 but had a batted pass.
• Bobby Okereke had one of his best games of the season (75.0), but Micah McFadden had one of his worst (38.6), largely due to poor coverage grade (five receptions in five targets for 49 yards and 26 YAC). was. However, all but one were against Tee Higgins or Ja'Marr Chase.
• Dru Phillips again had a very good game (74.5), especially in run support. Tae Banks was fine (63.9); He gave up four receptions on four targets for 47 yards and 28 YAC. It's not so bad against Tee Higgins. Tyler Nubin (59.2), Jason Pinnock (51.9) and Cor'Dale Flott (49.5) were all slightly below average.
