The New York Giants pulled off an impressive comeback victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, starting the regular season off 1-0 for the first time since 2016.

Daniel Jones had two touchdown passes, including one to Chris Myarick at the goal line to cut their deficit to one point with 1:06 remaining in the game. Instead of going for the tie and potentially forcing overtime, rookie head coach Brian Daboll decided to go for two.

Jones found Saquon Barkley for the conversion, and it put the Giants up 21-20.

The Titans would charge back down the field and thanks to a few bad defensive penalties, Ryan Tannehill got the offense in position for a Randy Bullock game-winning field goal. However, Bullock missed a 47-yard field goal and the Giants would win.

It’s the first time the Giants started the season with a win in six years. They beat the Dallas Cowboys 20-19 in 2016 — it’s the same year the team last made the playoffs and had a winning record. Before that, the Giants hadn’t won an opening game since 2010.
