Giants upset Packers in Week 5: Here’s how Twitter reacted
The New York Giants headed over seas to take on the Green Bay Packers in London as heavy underdogs on Sunday Morning.
The Giants came in decimated by injury and the injuries kept coming as Leonard Williams, who did travel with the team, was ruled out prior to the game.
The Giants also saw plenty of injuries during the game, including Saquon Barkley and Adoree’ Jackson.
Early on it seemed as though the Packers were going to run away with the game but Daniel Jones and Big Blue battled back to tie the game at 20-20 with 10:08 to go in the 4th quarter.
The Giants ended up getting the ball back and going up 27-20. They controlled the tempo of the second half and the defense stepped up when it mattered most.
After an intentional safety from the Giants punter, the Giants sealed the game 27-22 to improve to 4-1. Here is how Twitter reacted.

Saquon Barkley is back on the Giants' sideline and warming up by having David Sills bump into his shoulder a few times.
Barkley is back on the field.

Daniel Jones' right hand is gashed open and bleeding. Just completed a dart to Marcus Johnson, practice squad call-up.

Oh wow. Near disaster on a punt return … ball bounces off S Jason Pinnock, but it goes out of bounds before Packers can recover it.
Big break for the Giants, who get the ball at their own 40.

The Giants are a very well coached team.

Saquon Barkley TD on the direct snap and the Giants are on top 27-20 with 6:08 remaining.
They were down 17-3 and 20-10.

@saquon and the offense took care of biz. Just need one more stop from the defense #Giants

I have no idea what this #Giants season will become, but I feel pretty confident saying this: This team is incredibly-well coached & in great hands.
Brian Daboll & his staff might be among most impressive I've ever seen. Have no idea how this team is even competitive.

This is really something. Everyone from Gary Brightwell to Justin Layne to Marcus Johnson to Tomon Fox making plays in the fourth quarter for the Giants.
— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) October 9, 2022
Xavier McKinney knocks down Aaron Rodgers' pass on fourth down and the Giants are going to win this one, barring something crazy.

The Giants are going to be 4-1. Daniel Jones was incredible. Defense pitched a shutout in second half. So many unlikely heroes stepped up.
— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) October 9, 2022
Helluva time for the @Giants defense to get their first 4th down stop of the season #Giants

Couldn’t be any more impressed with the Giants. They are tough as hell, play hard every single snap, extremely well-coached and resilient.
Brian Daboll and his staff have done a remarkable job guiding them to this 4-1 start 👏

Wink Martindale dropped them on the last play! He brought the house and wasn’t gonna let 12 just do what the heck he was wanted to do. @mckinney15__ comes free off the edge and times his jump perfectly. That’s a huge play.

Nice to see the @Giants playing well! Good people in that organization

I think that was the best coached Giants game since their last Super Bowl win.

Best Giants win since beating the Cowboys on Monday night late in the 2016 season. Maybe even since their last Super Bowl victory?
