Giants at Broncos halftime score: Giants lead, 17-3, after stunning first half

The New York Giants were seemingly rocked this week by chaos on their roster and in the media.

Coming in to face the fearsome Denver Broncos defense with a depleted wide receiving corps, a questionable and reshuffled offensive line, and questions surrounding the head coach’s grip on the locker room, few gave the Giants a shot to do anything at all tonight.

The Giants started the game by opening up a 10-point lead on the back of some strong defensive play and a resurgent running game.

The Giants shook things up before the game by moving Justin Pugh back to right tackle to help deal with Von Miller. Ben McAdoo threw everyone a curve ball by handing play calling duties to offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan.

The result was a 83 yards on the ground in the first half, highlighted by a huge 47-yard run by Orleans Darkwa. That run lead to a five-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Evan Engram.

The following series ended in a Landon Collins interception to keep the Broncos off the board. Cornerback Janoris Jenkins picked off Trevor Siemian for a second time, taking this one back for a touchdown, with 48 seconds left in the half to extend the Giants’ lead to 17-3. The play also resulted in Siemian leaving the field with a shoulder injury and is currently listed as questionable.

The Giants will get the ball to start the second half. Use this as your open thread.
