New York Giants Team Grades vs Cleveland Browns
Passing Offense Grade: B-
The passing offense was not in sync against the Browns. Despite being one of the most giving defenses in the NFL, Eli Manning and company were unable to take advantage. The only real redeeming outcome from the game was the three touchdowns Manning threw and the play of Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham Jr. was the only player to really get anything done in the passing game. He led the team with six receptions and 96 yards along with the two touchdowns. No other Giants player had more than two receptions. Dwayne Harris caught the other touchdown on a nice route and throw from Manning.
Manning was never able to get into a rhythm as he looked out of sync all afternoon. He never looked comfortable in the pocket and hit only one of his deep shots, connecting with Victor Cruz for 37 yards. For whatever reason Sterling Shepard was not targeted this game; Roger Lewis Jr. saw four.
For the game, Manning completed only 15-of-27 for 194 yards and three touchdowns. He was sacked once and hit another four times. The Browns had five passes defended as well as they gave Manning and company all they could handle.
