Grading the Giants after their 35-14 loss Thursday to the New England Patriots.

Well, that was a rough one for Daniel Jones (15 of 31, 161 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs). His throws sailed and dropped, and it was a struggle without his top weapons all injured and not on the field. No ground game (52 yards) and Saquon Barkley can’t get healthy fast enough. Jon Hilliman (11-38, one lost fumble) was not the answer. Golden Tate showed some wheels on his 64-yard touchdown catch-and-run, but we could do without the backpedal into the end zone. Going 2-for-10 on third down is not going to cut it.

Grade: D.

Huge plays from Lorenzo Carter, Markus Golden and Janoris Jenkins, a defensive touchdown from Golden, but still not enough to stop Tom Brady (31 of 41, 334 yards, 1 INT). Brady had to work for it, though. New starting LB David Mayo had a fourth-down stop of Sony Michel on the first series. Mayo and Golden split a sack in the first quarter. Patriots averaged only 3.4 yards per rushing attempt but Julian Edelman (9-113) was an annoyance. Alec Ogletree (12 tackles, one sack) made a difference in his return from injury.

Grade: B-

Nate Stupar is on the team exclusively for special teams, which is why he cannot get pushed backwards on the punt team and give up a blocked punt for a touchdown. Cannot happen. Riley Dixon’s first punt sailed 52 yards and out of bounds on the Patriots’ 20-yard-line — nicely done. Antonio Hamilton made a good play downing a punt but thought he was on the 5-yard line when he was standing on the New England 10.

Grade: D.

Pat Shurmur lost two challenges and he had a case on both of them, but got nothing out of either. Give Shurmur credit for making no excuses — and not allowing his players to make excuses — for all the key offensive players not in uniform. Opting to punt the ball away with 7:08 remaining and trailing 28-14? No guts, no glory. James Bettcher is generating more pressure up-front and it is starting to pay off.

Grade: C+
