Following New York Giants improving to 6-1 on the season starting quarterback Daniel Jones had this to say!

Went down to the wire thereDefense did a good job holding them, holding them ultimately. Yeah, (we) did enough to win. Obviously, there's some plays we'd like to have back, but it's a good team we played, and did enough to win."

Following New York Giants improving to 6-1 on the season Xavier McKinney who is a safety for New York Giants had this to say!

hings happen in the game, and it ain't going to be perfectBut we've all got each other's back, and that's the greatest thing about this team. We play as a unit no matter what. For us defensively, we just knew we had to go out there and make another stop, which we wanted to do and which we were able to do. A lot of us don't think we played very good defensively today. (It was) probably our worst defensive performance. But we know we've got a lot of work to do in order to get where we want to be. We've got a lot of things to improve on."
