Daniel Jones threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns and the New York Giants, playing without their leading rusher and receiver, pulled out a 29-20 victory against the host Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Giants rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr., starting for the injured Devin Singletary (groin), rushed for 129 yards - 100 more than he had over the first four games - and Darius Slayton, stepping up with Malik Nabers (concussion) out, made eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown.

The Giants (2-3) clinched the victory when Isaiah Simmons blocked a potential tying field goal and Bryce Ford-Wheaton returned it 60 yards for a touchdown with 55 seconds remaining.

Geno Smith led the Seahawks (3-2) by completing 28 of 40 passes for 284 yards and a touchdown. Smith also rushed for a team-high 72 yards on four carries.

Smith threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 2:09 remaining, capping a 95-yard drive, to pull the Seahawks within three.

Seattle's defense forced a three-and-out and Smith drove the Seahawks to New York's 28-yard line before Jason Myers' 45-yard attempt was blocked.

The Giants broke a 10-all tie on a 30-yard scoring strike from Jones to Slayton with 10:41 left in the third quarter.

The score was tied at the half despite the Giants having sizable advantages in first downs (15-5), yardage (225-90) and time of possession (21:55-8:55).

After stopping the Seahawks on the game's opening possession, the Giants put together a 16-play, 79-yard drive that took 10:01 off the clock. But on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Eric Gray fumbled while trying to reach for the goal line and Seattle's Rayshawn Jenkins picked up the ball and returned it 102 yards for a touchdown.

The Giants tied the score on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Jones to Wan'Dale Robinson with 9:09 left in the second quarter.

Greg Joseph's 38-yard field goal with 22 seconds remaining in the half gave the Giants a 10-7 lead.

The Seahawks, who had gained just 45 yards up to that point, doubled that over the next two plays, with Smith throwing a 17-yard screen pass to Kenneth Walker III and a 28-yarder to Tyler Lockett to set up Myers' 43-yard field goal with 2 seconds to go.
