SEATTLE — Malik Nabers was back East nursing a concussion.
Darius Slayton rescued.
Head coach Brian Daboll said after the Giants' 29 games and Seahawks' 20 games, “We moved Slayton to where Neighbors was huddled. He was always on the other side.” He's a great teammate. He did everything we asked him to do. ”
Slayton (8-112, 1 TD) was much like the entire Giants team that day, never flinching.
“It's basically kind of the opposite for me, so I'm going to go in the opposite direction, just like where I'm used to going,” Slayton said. “So I'm just trying to do my best to remember that. I definitely took a wrong turn or two (lol), but I did a decent job today.”
Slayton caught a deep ball 41 yards down the right sideline from Daniel Jones, but was given an unsportsmanlike penalty for what the Zebras considered a salute, but Slayton signaled for a first down. he claimed.
Mr Daboll said Mr Slayton regretted it and was remorseful.
“The funny thing is, when I got up, I knew when you were close to that guy, like when you get them,” Slayton said. “I purposely made sure there was no one nearby and didn't point.” in Anyone. I was just pointing at nothing. There are no higher points for me. This is what happens when you add points. Just one finger. ”
Moments later, Slayton caught a 30-yard game-winning TD pass as his second option and pointed to the crowd. There are no flags.
“I think it was one finger, and that's probably why it wasn't,” he said. “I guess I’ll just use one finger from here.”
“Slay stepped up and had a big game today,” Jones said enthusiastically of his 2019 draft classmate.
