The New York Giants defeated the Houston Texans in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.
With this 24-16 win, the Giants are now 7-2 putting them in a good position to make a postseason run.
The Giants were in charge of this game the whole way. It was 60 minutes of solid football from New York where they proved that they were simply the better team, never trailing in the game.
A lot of players stood out in this game including the usuals: Andrew Thomas, Daniel Jones (197 passing yards and two touchdowns), and Saquon Barkley (160 scrimmage yards and one touchdown).
However, for the Week 10 Player of the Game, a defensive player will finally get recognition. Dexter Lawrence II was almost unstoppable in this game. He recorded five tackles (one for a loss), one pass defended, five quarterback hits, and one sack.
Lawrence also had a couple of great plays that do not immediately show up in the box score. He drew a holding penalty on a Texans touchdown erasing six points off the board.
The former Clemson standout also recorded a quarterback pressure on a crucial Dane Belton interception.
Dexter Lawrence, BTW, is having a MONSTER game. Five tackles, one sack, 5 QBHs, one pass breakup. Should be NFC Defensive POTW winner IMO.

Dexter Lawrence had surpassed his career high in sacks. He’s good.

Rookie safety Dane Belton, having a challenging day, makes a great play to intercept Davis Mills on another deep shot. Dexter Lawrence was pressuring Davis Mills AGAIN on that play.

Dexter Lawrence is living in the backfield. Mills has no time.
