In a 24–10 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, Engram caught four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown on September 18, 2017. Eli Manning's first touchdown reception in his career came in the second quarter on an 18-yard run. During a 24–17 loss to the Oakland Raiders on December 3, 2017, Engram passed for seven yards on a season-high 99 receiving touchdown. This was his sixth touchdown of the season and his last. Due to the Giants' announcement of a 2–10 record, head coach Ben McAdoo was suspended after the game. As the Giants lost 34–29 to the Philadelphia Eagles, he had a season-high eight receptions for 87 yards and his first carry of his career for a 14-yard gain.
