New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor demonstrated his exceptional deep ball throwing ability in a recent game, delivering key plays that led to Giants touchdowns. Taylor completed a 20-yard pass to Jalin Hyatt on third down, which set up a touchdown. He was perfect on a drive, going 6 for 6 for 56 yards, and made a crucial play on third-and-6 to keep the drive alive through his pocket manipulation and focus downfield. Wan'Dale Robinson finished the drive with a 24-yard touchdown run, with Andrew Thomas providing a downfield block despite playing through injury. During the game, Saquon Barkley was seen in the blue tent, indicating a possible injury concern. The highlight of Taylor's performance was an 80-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton, which was the longest play of the season for the Giants and featured a throw that traveled 55 air yards, the most on any touchdown pass this season.
Some #Giants fans continue to hammer to me they want to "get rid of" Darius Slayton. Meanwhile, in his last 5 quarters w/ Tyrod Taylor, he has caught TD passes of 70 & 80 yards. Slayton created separation on both, caught the pinpoint perfect passes in stride, finished for TDs. https://t.co/auv20SnWex
The 80-yard touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor to Darius Slayton traveled 55 air yards, per @ESPNStatsInfo. That is the most air yards on any touchdown pass this season. #Giants
The keys here: 1. QB stays in the pocket despite it getting muddy. Doesn't break right. 2. The QB drives the football on a line about 62* yards IN THE AIR. 3. The WR doesn't have to slow down, break stride, adjust to opposite shoulder Tyrod Taylor is an explosive thrower #Giants https://t.co/R3QkBDX01x
The end zone angle on this one is sweet too. LOVE how Tyrod Taylor trusts Andrew Thomas to win his rep and doesn't panic escape the pocket. It was a 20-10 game and the #Giants were backed up inside their own 20 before this. Plays like this completely flip the momentum of games. https://t.co/SnJgHqlllP

Tyrod Taylor manipulates the pocket to give him the opportunity & then an even better job driving an 80-yard TD pass that hits Darius Slayton IN STRIDE for a walk in TD. The #Giants with 50+yard pass TDs that hit WR in stride in consecutive games for the first time in forever. https://t.co/OKiBQVeSzH

Helluva play by #Giants QB Tyrod Taylor here. He went 6 for 6 on the drive but this was his best individual play. Eyes downfield. Natural explosive arm talent with the off platform throw, no time to square shoulders. The play earlier on the drive where he reset the pocket to keep… https://t.co/5UyHP8OOpG

Tremendous play by Tyrod on third-and-6 to keep that drive alive and then Wan'Dale Robinson like a bolt of lightning on the end around for a 24-yard TD. Saquon in the blue tent during the end of that drive.
