New York Giants - Baltimore Ravens Live Blog: Giants Lose 35-14

East Rutherford, N.J. -- The New York Giants look to record their first win at home this season against a heavily favored Baltimore Ravens team looking to improve its postseason position. The Giants will field quarterback Tommy DeVito instead of the injured Drew Lock as they look to notch their third win.

13:51 - The Giants do not make it on 4th and 1 from the the Ravens' 30. DeVito with the rushing attempt. I mean, the Giants left Eric Gray in there which was a dead giveaway what was coming. And they keep insisting on rushing the smallish DeVito up the middle?

6:59 - And another poor special teams play. Jamie Gillian had a 37-yard punt, the Giants had two missed tackles (one by Bryce Ford-Wheaton), and the Ravens had an excellent starting field position after a 23-yard return to the Giants' 32-yard line.
- Lineup Note: Isaiah Simmons is playing slot cornerback. Worth keeping an eye on when he draws Zay Flowers.
10:53 - Micah McFadden continues his strong season with a sack of a scrambling Lamar Jackson.
14:14 - Adoree Jackson recovers a Ravens fumble by quarterback Lamar Jackson, who rushed for 15 yards. Jackson forced the fumble. Giants get the ball on their 12-yard line.
Adoree' Jackson strips the ball from Lamar Jackson! 💪

Ravens KOR Justin Hill with a 59-yard kickoff return. 1st and 10 at the Giants' 37. This hasn't been said enough, but Giants special teams has been awful this season.
Pregame
Brian Burns, Devin Singletary, and Greg Van Roten join Casey Kreiter for the coin toss. Giants win the toss and defer. Game on!

GIANTS INACTIVES: CB Deonte Banks, CB Dru Phillips, CB Cor’Dale Flott, ILB Bobby Okereke, DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and QB Drew Lock (3rd QB)
Banks is missing his third straight game with a rib injury. It was surprising because he was limited all week in practice and was listed as questionable for this game and the thought was he was trending in the right direction.
The starting defensive secondary will probably consist of Adoree' Jackson and Art Green on the outside, Greg Stroman in the slot, and Jason Pinnock and Dane Belton at safety.
RAVENS INACTIVES: S Sanoussi Kane, S Marcus Williams, RB Keaton Mitchell, OLB Adisa Isaac, and C Nick Samac
