The New York Giants found themselves on the end of another loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, as their losing streak against their NFC East rivals continued in a 37-18 loss at MetLife Stadium.
The losing streak is now at six games, as the last time the Giants have defeated the Cowboys goes all the way back to December of the 2016 season, which ironically enough was the last time the Giants were a playoff team.
With a fifth straight loss, the Giants are now at 2-7 and have a meeting with their building mates, the New York Jets, who have had their own struggles this season and are sitting at 1-7 entering Week 10.
So after their latest defeat to the Cowboys, whose stock is up and down for the Giants?
Stock up: Antoine Bethea
At times this season, Bethea has had his struggles. But on Monday night, the veteran had one of his best performances of the season, if not his best. Bethea had nine total tackles with a pass deflection, a fumble recovery and an interception, which was on the first drive of the game.
It is definitely a game for Bethea to build upon and get better from.
Stock down: DeAndre Baker
For the second time this season against the Cowboys, Baker looked absolutely clueless and overmatched against the Dallas receivers.
Receivers were getting open far too easily, and Baker couldn’t recover fast enough — especially in the second half — as the Dallas offense racked up the yards and points on the Giants secondary.
Stock up: Golden Tate
Tate’s numbers don’t exactly jump out at you from Monday night — six catches for 42 yards and no touchdowns.
But he caught all six of his targets, which is further showing his reliability and the trust quarterbacks have always had in Tate.
One of the catches Tate made was a one-handed grab reminiscent of the catch Odell Beckham Jr. had five years ago.
Even though it wasn’t quite the Odell catch, it was still worth rewatching over and over again.
Stock down: Daniel Jones
After a week in which Jones was able to throw four touchdowns and limit the turnovers, Jones reverted back to being a rookie who couldn’t hold on to the football against Dallas.
Jones not only threw a costly interception in the game, but he also lost two fumbles, one of which was the final touchdown in the game for the Cowboys late in the fourth quarter and sealed the 37-18 victory. He was also sacked five times.
Jones is going to continue to learn and have his growing pains, but at the same time, his frequent turnovers are becoming a problem, and on Monday night, they didn’t help the team’s cause.
Stock up: Cody Latimer
Latimer had an extremely strong game for the Giants, as he not only had the lone receiving touchdown for the Giants, but he was really good in the return game as well.
Latimer, who replaced Darius Slayton as the primary return man, had six returns for 181 yards and had a 50-yard return for the Giants.
Latimer’s value on the team only increases even more, especially if he can be a valuable kick returner who provides those kind of boosts.
Stock down: Nate Solder and Mike Remmers
We could pick one or the other to go here, but both tackles had poor games against the Cowboys.
DeMarcus Lawrence abused Remmers all game, and Solder allowed the sack-fumble against Daniel Jones that lead to the final touchdown in the game and sealed the victory.
Jones was sacked five times, and the two tackles were the primary reasons why. Both haven’t been playing well as of late and are leaving Jones to take hits and have possible turnovers happen if he fumbles the ball.
