The New York Giants fell to the New York Jets, 34-27, on Sunday in embarrassing fashion and precious few players could put a feather into their cap for a solid performance.
One of those players was right guard Kevin Zeitler, who played well despite some struggles around him, earning a spot on Pro Football Focus’ NFL Week 10 Team of the Week.

Zeitler earned his highest single-game grade of the season (75.6) against the Jets in Week 10. He allowed just two total pressures and earned a 72.3 run-blocking grade.
Considering how poorly the offensive line played as a hole and how little Saquon Barkley was able produce, it may seem somewhat shocking to see Zeitler’s name here, but PFF has their opinion.
In addition to Zeitler, punter Riley Dixon also earned a spot on the PFF Team of the Week, although they offered no additional context when it came to his inclusion.
Dixon averaged 53.5 yards on six punts with a long of 59 and one downed inside the 20. He also had a touchback and a failed two-point conversion attempt off a bad snap from Zak DeOssie.
