Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Giants’ 27-21 win over the Texans on Sunday:

Hero

Devin Singletary — who was a healthy scratch for three games earlier this season before Najee Harris was released — rushed for the walk-off 30-yard touchdown in overtime as Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. each nursed hamstring discomfort.

Zero

Kicker Dominic Zvada missed 44- and 56-yard field goals and failed to keep his overtime kickoff out of the end zone, allowing the Texans to start at the 35-yard line after a touchback.

Unsung hero

Micah McFadden had 10 tackles, including two for loss, and a quarterback hit in his first start of the season. He had played just three defensive snaps before the season-ending shoulder injury to Tremaine Edmunds.

Key stat

183: Yardage differential between the Giants (420) and the Texans (237), showing the hidden level of domination.

Quote

“We’re going to be in this thing to the end now.”

— Head coach John Harbaugh on the big-picture ramifications of improving to 4-2-1 before the bye week.
