The defense was an epic mess

Rating the Giants’ 35-14 loss to the Ravens at MetLife Stadium on Sunday:

attack

It certainly won’t get any better.

Going for 14 points, 236 total yards and 2 of 12 on third down is a bad thing.

Seeing a QB sneak from Tommy DeVito unsuccessfully stopped was both fitting and ugly.

DeVito was an ineffective 10 of 13 for 68 yards and two sacks before exiting due to a concussion.

At least Tim Boyle (12 of 24, 123 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) got the ball there.

Malik Nabers (10-82, 1 TD) fought and drew two pass interference penalties against CB Brandon Stephens.

He caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Boyle midway through the fourth quarter.

An illegal shift penalty on Nabers wiped out his 20-yard reception in the third quarter.

He is a competitor.

No running game (55 rushing yards) with Tyrone Tracy (10-31) or Devin Singletary (8-25, 1 TD).

All in all the snake wasn’t terrible (three bags allowed).

The average gain of 3.9 yards per play is an indication of the lack of dynamism on offense.

Grade: F

defense

Oy, very much.

What a disaster.

The Ravens accumulated 445 yards and went 9 of 11 on third down.

Lamar Jackson (21 of 25, 290 yards) threw five touchdown passes (two to Rashod Bateman) and rarely had an easier time.

He also ran it six times for 65 yards.

CB Adoree’ Jackson forced and recovered a Jackson fumble on the first series.

LB Micah McFadden showed strong pursuit on a first down sack, aided by a flush from Brian Burns.

Burns then added a sack of his own for a 10-yard loss.

Isaiah Simmons stumbled in coverage, leaving TE Mark Andrews wide open for a 13-yard TD.

A double play by Bateman left S Jason Pinnock completely lost on a 49-yard TD that was painfully wide open.

Bateman later added a 20-yard TD, passing S Dane Belton.

This group wasn’t wreaked havoc by Derrick Henry (14-67), but the young, inexperienced and injury-depleted secondary was amateurish when it came to busting coverages.

Grade: F

Special teams

The very first play was a 59-yard kickoff return allowed to Justice Hill.

Jamie Gillan’s first punt went 51 yards without a return.

His second punt wasn’t as good, a low 37-yarder that Desmond King returned 23 yards.

A penalty on Matthew Adams negated a big kickoff return by Ihmir Smith-Marsette.

A Graham Gano kickoff fell in the landing zone and rolled out of the end zone, forcing the Ravens to start a series at their 20-yard line.

New TE Greg Dulcich came to the club with an illegal block above the waist on a kickoff return.

Grade: C

Coaching

Seeing Brian Daboll go nuts after the botched quarterback sneak shows how frustrating this all is for the head coach and offensive lineman.

There are no answers on offense and Daboll was unable to prevent all the losses.

It’s a bad combination.

Shane Bowen’s defense held up against Alvin Kamara and Henry in consecutive weeks, but the back end was continually exploited and Jackson handled it with ease.

Grade: F
