Giants vs. Steelers Player of the Game: Tyrone Tracy Jr.

The New York Giants were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 26-18, at Acrisure Stadium on Monday Night Football and Tyrone Tracy Jr. is our Player of the Game.

Big Blue lost this game in classic Giants fashion as they could not make the big plays when they were needed and turned over the ball at crucial points in the game. However, for an offense struggling to get anything going all day, Tracy added a sparkplug as he got loose for a 45-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

For the second time this season, Tracy rushed for over 125 yards, this time totaling 145 yards on the ground. The rookie also caught two passes for five receiving yards.

The converted wide receiver has proven to be a gem of a fifth round pick for New York. His contact balance and vision were on display all night especially on his touchdown scamper. He was also extremely efficient as he averaged 7.3 yards per carry on 20 attempts.

Unfortunately for the rookie, his night ended early due to a potential concussion in the fourth quarter.

Other players that were considered for player of the game were Darius Slayton (four catches for 108 yards), Azeez Ojulari (seven tackles, two sacks, and two tackles for loss), and Bobby Okereke (14 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and 0.5 sacks).
