Rating the Giants’ 45-33 win over the Colts at MetLife Stadium on Sunday:

attack

Where the hell has this been all season?

The numbers were consistently remarkable.

There were 446 total yards, 25 first downs, 7 of 13 on third down conversions and a time of possession of 33:23.

Drew Lock?

Wow.

He completed 17 of 23 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns.

He also ran for a TD.

His passer rating was 155.3.

Hello, the run and catch function was missing.

Malik Nabers (7-171, 2 TDs) took a quick kickoff and raced 32 yards for a touchdown, and Darius Slayton kept the balance with a 32-yard scoring play.

Wan’Dale Robinson (5-71, 1 TD) kept things moving.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. (20-59) didn’t do much other than a 40-yard strike. The castle was not looted.

Midway through the second quarter, TE Daniel Bellinger was hit with a 15-yard chop block penalty.

RG Jake Kubas jumped from the Indy 1-yard line for a false start and Evan Neal was assessed an illegal man downfield penalty.

No turnover was a big plus.

Grade: A

defense

Now this is a deviation from the norm.

This unit certainly wasn’t great, but it was saved and was eventually able to make a few plays.

Jonathan Taylor (32-125, 2 TDs) did some damage, but averaged just 3.9 yards per attempt.

39-year-old Joe Flacco (26 of 38, 330 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs) might be able to give up the ball at age 50.

Michael Pittman (9-109, 1 TD) and Alec Pierce (6-122, 1 TD) were consistent problems.

CB Deonte Banks doesn’t trust his technique in key situations.

He was isolated on the field with Pierce and was assessed a 44-yard pass interference penalty.

Banks later had another pass interference for 19 yards.

---

S-Danish Belton showed his skills with a diving interception in the first quarter.

Rakeem Nunez-Roches sacked Flacco, forcing the Colts to settle for a first-quarter field goal.

Brian Burns had two tackles for a loss to Taylor late in the first half. DT Elijah Chatman made a fourth-and-1 stop on Taylor for no gain.

Rookie Dru Phillips came up with the game-winning interception. Kayvon Thibodeaux had a late strip sack.

Grade: C

Special teams

Ihmir Smith-Marsette was quietly a solid addition as a returner, turning heads by returning the second-half kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown.

He was untouched.

Jamie Gillan’s first punt traveled 48 yards without a return, and he averaged 48.7 yards on his three punts.

Graham Gano made a 30-yard field goal and all five extra point attempts.

Grade: A

Coaching

Man, oh man, did Brian Daboll need that?

He held the team together, but the many defeats took a toll on everyone.

Daboll said he was tough on Lock all week and that proved to be the tough love that was needed.

Daboll cleverly tried to lean on the running game early and limit Lock’s attacking surface in the passing game.

Lock did his damage on just 23 passes compared to 30 running plays.

It felt too extreme when Daboll scored on fourth-and-2 from his own 42-yard line late in the third quarter.

Shane Bowen’s defense failed to put much pressure on Flacco.

Grade: B+.
