Heroes, zeros from Giants’ win over Packers: Deonte Banks delivers


Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Giants’ 24-22 win over the Packers on Monday:

Hero

Wan’Dale Robinson made three plays of 25 yards or more, setting up two touchdowns and Randy Bullock’s game-winning field goal as time expired.

Zero

Jordan Love threw an interception and lost a fumble in field-goal range, becoming the latest young quarterback bested by defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.

Unsung Hero

Deonte Banks led the Giants with a team-high 12 tackles and had a key pass break-up in single coverage in the end zone that forced the Packers to settle for a field goal in the fourth quarter, when the extra four points would’ve mattered.

Key Stat

93: Seconds needed for rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito to drive the Giants to the winning field goal, going 57 yards on eight plays for his first career fourth-quarter comeback.

Quote
