Giants.com contributor Shaun O'Hara grades the different position groups for their performance vs. the Seahawks
![OFFENSIVE LINE: D No run game. They gave up sacks. Everyone got beat at some point. I thought Kevin Boothe, though, actually fought his butt off.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/t0fada2vsv5zoafcpnug.jpg)

![RUNNING BACKS: F There wasn't a whole lot of room to run the football. I thought Andre Brown missed a couple of runs, but he also got beat in pass protection a couple times.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/khmbbo8d0n8wn4sd3efy.jpg)

![QB ELI MANNING: F Eli Manning had five picks and a couple underthrown balls. You just can't keep turning the ball over like that.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/cyh2ovzdqnzicaehcyxm.jpg)

![WIDE RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS: D There were a couple drops. I thought Hakeem Nicks could have fought for the ball a little bit more. Really I thought they all could have fought for the ball a little more.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/sz4lrm18hjxdcfzeztbu.jpg)

![DEFENSIVE LINE: B I thought the defensive line played pretty well. They got some pressure on Russell Wilson and sacked him four times. He's a pretty tough guy to sack.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/qrm1eju1us1hxucmybuz.jpg)

![LINEBACKERS: B- I thought the defense played well against Marshawn Lynch. Coming into this game, you would have thought he would have rushed for 100 yards, but they've done a good job against the run game.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/zvhs1ucsyaesvxnvsij0.jpg)

![SECONDARY: B+ They battled hard. When you get four sacks, you're doing a good job in coverage. They did a good job even when Wilson was scrambling at times. The one I'm thinking of is Prince Amukamara when the quarterback was scrambling around and threw the football. Prince was there in the coverage to make the tackle.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/yfxrrya9ifspzdianscg.jpg)

![SPECIAL TEAMS: C+ There's no threat in the return game. To me, that phase of the game is just nonexistent. Steve Weatherford had a decent day, and I've got to give credit to him. Golden Tate is a very dangerous returner, and the Giants' coverage team actually did a pretty good job.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/giants/ilpm54s1jf5x66ywhb8p.jpg)
