With Saquon Barkley, Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. all sitting out, the New York Giants' backups took advantage of the extra work and took down the Lions 30-17 at Ford Field in Detroit on Friday night.
Starting quarterback Davis Webb completed 14 of 20 passes for 140 yards and a score, an 8-yard toss to backup running back Wayne Gallman to give the Giants the lead for good at 7-3 in the second quarter.
Another Giants running back, Robert Martin, had seven carries for 47 yards and a touchdown. Gallman had 26 yards on the ground and a pair of scores.
Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford was 2 of 5 for 51 yards in limited action, but backup Jake Rudock was 23 of 30 for 171 yards and a touchdown.
Barkley sat because of a leg injury suffered at practice, while Manning and Beckham were not listed as inactive but sat nonetheless.
