Top receivers

Despite a strong performance by Daniel Jones and scoring their season high in points, the Giants were plagued by miscues; a Jones touchdown run nullified by a holding penalty, a wide open touchdown drop byDarius Slayton, and finally an offside penalty byDexter Lawrence during a missed field goal on the final play of the game, which gave Washington another chance. The Giants dropped to 0–2 for the fifth consecutive year and eighth time in nine years, and broke a five-game winning streak against Washington, losing to them for the first time since 2018. The next day, it was revealed that Lawrence was not offside and in fact jumped when the ball was snapped.[33] The Giants also lost starting center and team captainNick Gates for the season to a gruesome leg injury.

Both teams played a sloppy and undisciplined game on a cold night in Kansas City. The Chiefs opened up with a 13 play drive only to be intercepted at the goal line. However, Daniel Jones threw a pick two plays later andTyreek Hill opened the scoring for the Chiefs. The Giants managed to make some stops on defense and made the game competitive with a couple of scoring drives, includingKyle Rudolph's first touchdown with the Giants.Evan Engram scored his first touchdown of the season in the fourth quarter to give the Giants the lead, and the Chiefs tied it with a field goal of their own.

Throughout the game, penalties and clock mismanagement became an issue, especially for the Giants in the 4th quarter. In a 17–17 tie game, fullbackElijhaa Penny had a controversial taunting penalty nullify yardage gained from a first down, and aPatrick Mahomes interception on the next drive was nullified by an offsides penalty fromOshane Ximines. The Chiefs took advantage winding down the clock and kicking a game-winning field goal with 1:07 to play. The Giants didn't have any timeouts and couldn't muster much of an opportunity to extend the game. With the loss, the Giants fell to 2–6 or worse for the 5th consecutive year.

On the day the Giants retiredMichael Strahan's 92, the defense rebounded from their lackluster performance in Tampa and played a masterful game.[36] After a first quarter field goal, Eagles QBJalen Hurts was intercepted byDarnay Holmes. The defense preserved the 3-0 first half lead on the last play by stopping an Eagles 15-play, 92-yard drive with aTae Crowder interception on the goal line, a play that would prove disastrous for the Eagles.

In the third quarter after a fourth down stop, the Giants opened up the scoring when Philadelphia native andTemple University walk-onChris Myarick made an acrobatic touchdown catch, his first in the NFL, to give the Giants a 10–0 lead. Hurts threw an interception toXavier McKinney, his third of the day. After that, the Eagles decided to aggressively run the football, rushing for 100 yards in the third quarter alone.Boston Scott got the Eagles on the board in the first play of the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run. After exchanging punts,Kenny Golladay had two critical first-down receptions putting the Giants in field goal range, extending the lead to 13–7 in the closing minutes.

On the next possession with the Eagles driving,Dexter Lawrence forced a Scott fumble, whichJulian Love recovered for the Giants with 1:39 to play. The Giants coaches opted to be extra conservative, making the Eagles burn all three timeouts in 23 seconds, giving them the ball back with 1:11 to play.

After three completions from Hurts to rookie RBKenneth Gainwell for 32 yards, the Eagles drove to the Giants 27-yard line with 37 seconds to play. On first down, Hurts threw a one-on-one ball to the end zone toJalen Reagor which bounced out of his hands and into the waiting arms of Love, who himself couldn't hold on to the ball, giving the Eagles another chance. On fourth down after two stops, Hurts threw another pass to Reagor on the goal line, which he dropped again, turning the ball over on downs. It was their sixth of the game, and enough for the Giants to escape with the win.

With the win, the Giants improved to 4–7. This was the first time the Giants had a winning streak against the Eagles since they won 3 in a row from 2007 to 2008.Joe Judge also improved to 4–0 at home against division rivals in his last win as Giants head coach. It was also their third home win in a row, the first time they had done so infive years.

After the Eagles game, it was revealedDaniel Jones sprained his neck in the contest and was officially ruled out on December 3. Backup QBMike Glennon would get his first start with the Giants.[37]

The story in the first half was about field position. After the Giants were pinned deep and moved the ball to midfield, Glennon was intercepted byXavien Howard who was touched down at the 3-yard line. A Dolphins three-and-out put the Giants in good field position for their next drive, and kicked a field goal to open the scoring. The Dolphins responded with a field goal of their own, and later capped off a 12-play, 89-yard drive to take a 10–3 halftime lead.

The Giants kicked a field goal on their opening drive of the second half to make it 10–6, and there were 2 combined first down over the next 6 drives for both teams. Near the end of the third quarter after taking a sack,Joe Judge called timeout on 2nd and 23. Glennon was sacked on the following play and followed by a delay of game. This sequence deflated the Giants, who gave the ball back to the Dolphins in advantageous field position and scored to make it 17–6. The Dolphins missed a field goal to ice the game and gave the ball back to the Giants, who made it a one-score game again. The defense couldn't get any stops nor could the coaches keep stopping the clock, so the Dolphins kicked one last field goal and defeated the Giants 20–9, winning their fifth game in a row and reviving their playoff hopes.

The Dolphins became the second team to ever win 5 games in a row after a 7-game losing streak (the first being the1994 Giants). They snapped a 4-game losing streak against the Giants, defeating them for the first time since2003, also their first time beating them in Miami. Dolphins WRJaylen Waddle brokeJarvis Landry's franchise record with most catches in a season by a rookie (finished with 84 in 2014) with his 9-catch, 90-yard performance. The Giants fell to 4–8 on the season and backup QB Mike Glennon suffered a concussion in the loss.

The Giants offense was listless for the fifth game in a row. After forcing a Cowboys punt to start the game,Mike Glennon was intercepted on the Giants first drive, whichEzekiel Elliott capped off with a 13-yard touchdown run.Greg Zuerlein made up for the missed extra point by scoring field goals on the next 3 Cowboys possessions to close out the first half and give the Cowboys a 15–3 halftime lead. The last of which was caused by the defense forcing aSaquon Barkley fumble, his first in the NFL.

The Giants converted a 4th and 1 play with a 31-yard run byDevontae Booker, which set up another field goal to make it 15–6. On the next drive with 4th and inches on their own 29, Glennon was stuffed on a QB sneak. Cowboys QBDak Prescott threw a touchdown pass toDalton Schultz 5 plays later, but Zuerlein missed his second extra point of the game. Glennon was intercepted on the next drive, and after a series of punts,Lorenzo Carter strip-sacked Prescott to give the Giants the ball on the Cowboys 27 with 8:32 to play. Two plays later, Glennon threw a deep ball to the end zone which was intercepted byTrevon Diggs for his 10th of the season. The Cowboys burned the clock and punted to the Giants, who benched Glennon forJake Fromm, a rookie QB fromGeorgia making his NFL debut after being on the Buffalo Bills practice squad just two weeks prior. Despite driving the Giants down the field, Fromm turned the ball over on downs, sealing the Cowboys 21–6 victory.

The Giants fell to 4–10 and had their 5th season in a row of 10+ losses, and were swept by the Cowboys for the 4th time in 5 years, and the 6th time in 9 years. The Cowboys improved to 10–4 but failed to clinch a playoff spot when the49ers andSaints both won later that day.

The next day, the Giants announced they were shutting down starting quarterbackDaniel Jones for the last three games of the season.

Jake Fromm made his first career NFL start as the Giants visited the Eagles seeking to even theirall-time series and complete their first season sweep of Philadelphia since the2007 season.

While New York got off to a sluggish start on offense in the first half, only scoring aGraham Gano field goal, the defense would pick up the slack, limiting Philadelphia to a field goal of their own. However, miscues on both sides of the ball for the Giants in the second half would lead to the Eagles blowing the game wide open. Fromm completed 6 of 17 passes for 25 yards and an interception before being benched in the third quarter for Mike Glennon. Glennon would finish 17 of 27 for 93 yards, a garbage-time touchdown toEvan Engram, and a pick-six byAlex Singleton.Lane Johnson had his first career touchdown for the Eagles late in the game.

With the loss, New York failed to improve on their 6–10 record fromthe year before, and was eliminated from playoff contention for the 5th straight year. This was New York's eighth straight road loss to Philadelphia dating back to the2014 season, as well as their 90th overall loss to their rivals.

Washington had a 12–0 lead going into the fourth quarter after two first half field goals and aBobby McCain pick six.Jake Fromm threw his first career touchdown pass toDarius Slayton for the Giants, thenAntonio Gibson scored a touchdown for Washington. After a Fromm fumble,Joey Slye kicked his third field goal of the game to close out the 2021 season for both teams.

With the loss, the Giants finished the season 4–13 on a 6-game losing streak, all by double digits, the first such occurrence in franchise history. This was the second time in franchise history the Giantslost 13 games, and the first time the Giants had been swept by Washington since2011.Joe Judge became the first Giants head coach to lose 13 games in a season. (Ben McAdoo only lost 10 games in 2017, as he was fired before the end of the season).

The Giants recorded just 5 receiving touchdowns by wide receivers all season. Free agent signeeKenny Golladay and first round pickKadarius Toney both failed to record a touchdown. Slayton's touchdown was the first by a Giants wide receiver sinceDante Pettis in Week 7.

The Giants secured the 5th and 7th picks in the2022 NFL draft, the latter by virtue of the Chicago Bears in theJustin Fields trade.

The following day, the Giants announcedDave Gettleman's retirement as General Manager after a 19–46 record over four seasons, and that Judge would remain as head coach in2022. However, the team went back on that promise and fired Judge the following day, finishing with a 10–23 record.

Notably, this was the last game the Washington Football Team played with their temporary moniker, rebranding as theCommanders ahead the 2022 season afterchanging their name in 2020.
