There were heroes, zeros and a blistering performance in Sunday's Giants-Browns game, which the Giants won 21-15.
hero
It's Malik Neighbors' world (8 receptions, 78 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 carries for 4 yards and a crucial first down) and we all live in it.
Throw it anywhere near him and he will catch it.
He recovered from a drop on fourth down against the Commanders and won enough to win the game.
zero
After Deshaun Watson completed a 24-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper on the first play from scrimmage, the Browns didn't have a chance to win until the fourth quarter.

He also fumbled a handoff that was recovered by Dexter Lawrence.

Azeez Ojulari had a sack and a key fumble recovery at the NYG 44 in the fourth quarter.
