Hero, Zero, Full Blitz from Sunday's 17-7 Giants-Bengals loss:
hero
Joe Burrow doesn't win many games with his legs instead of his arms, but he scored a 48-yard touchdown on his first possession when the Giants defense broke a challenge on third-and-18.
In the first five games, he totaled 39 rushing yards.
zero
Greg Joseph missed a 47-yard field goal that would have tied the game with 10:27 left in the fourth quarter.
It was his second failure in 10 attempts since joining the Giants in Week 3.
The unsung hero
Pass rusher Trey Hendrickson had two sacks on Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas.
Perhaps the first was still on Thomas' mind when he committed an illegal man-downfield penalty that nullified a 56-yard reception by Darius Slayton.
Main status
1: Number of touchdowns scored by the Giants in their first three home games of the season (0-3).
