Seahawks kicker Jason Myers had his kick blocked by Giants defender Isaiah Simmons, and Bryce Ford-Wheaton scooped up the ball and ran it back for a touchdown.

New York pulled off an improbable 29-20 victory, moving to 2-3 on the season.

Daniel Jones completed two touchdown passes in the win. This is the third time this season he has completed at least two touchdown passes in a game. He also accomplished that against the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Browns.

Jones completed 23 of 34 for 257 passing yards. He also added 38 yards on the ground.
