Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Giants-Dolphins final score: Dolphins 31, Giants 16 — Giants fall to 1-4
The New York Giants fell to 1-4 on Sunday with a 31-16 loss to the 4-1 Miami Dolphins, as the Dolphins scored touchdowns of 76 and 69 yards en route to compiling 524 yards of total offense.
But the big news will be the status of Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who left the game in the fourth quarter with a neck injury after being sacked by Andrew Van Ginkel. That was the sixth time Jones was sacked on Sunday and the 28th time this season. After the game, Jones told the media his neck soreness and pain feels “similar” to what he had in 2021. He had an X-ray tonight, awaiting results, and will get a scan tomorrow.
For the game, the Giants compiled 268 yards of total offense. They got field goals of 51, 49 and 37 yards from kicker Graham Gano. The only touchdown was a Jason Pinnock’s 102-yard score on an interception return in the second quarter.
The Giants travel to western New York to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. The game will be a homecoming for GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, hired from the Bills by the Giants.

Other Giant observations
Giants debacle in Miami: Daniel Jones hurt, Brian Daboll’s offense broken — and the season is toast | NJ.com
Brian Daboll came to the Giants last season with a reputation as an offensive wizard and quarterback whisperer. The Giants hoped he’d finally be the head coach who could consistently move the ball and maybe, just maybe, draw up a few explosive plays.
Instead, early in their second season together, Daboll and quarterback Daniel Jones’ offense is broken. And now, Jones is hurt, too, having suffered a neck injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 31-16 loss at the Dolphins — on yet another sack.

“We’re not doing a good enough job,” Daboll said. “It’s all on me.”

Nickelback Taron Johnson called the artificial turf “terrible” and said there was chatter in the locker room about the turf being a problem.
“Take that turf out, especially that one,” Johnson said. “I’d rather play on grass. I’m sure 90 to 100 percent of players in the NFL would rather play on grass. I don’t know why we’re playing on stuff like that. There were injuries on the field today, some really, really bad. I just feel like the turf has something to do with it.”
