Giants PFF grades: Best and worst performers from Week 9 loss vs. Raiders

The New York Giants took one on the chin in Week 9, falling to the Las Vegas Raiders, 30-6, in a game that wasn’t even that close.

Not only did the loss drop the Giants to 2-7 on the season, but they also lost quarterback Daniel Jones for the year to a torn ACL. Right tackle Evan Neal suffered an ankle injury of his own and is expected to miss time.

After the game, safety Xavier McKinney implied that there’s a growing rift between players and coaches, only compounding what has been a very ugly season.
