No. 1 wide receiver Roger Lewis isn’t a phrase anyone would have expected to hear in the summer, but neither would 2-8 Giants.

In this strange, frustrating season, Lewis gave Big Blue fans a rare reason to smile, making an acrobatic 34-yard catch to set up the game-winning field goal in a 12-9 overtime victory over the contending Chiefs on Sunday afternoon at windy MetLife Stadium.

Lewis, a second-year pro out of Bowling Green who also plays special teams, found out Sunday morning his role would be expanded with Sterling Shepard (migraine headaches) inactive. The once-stout receiving corps already was down top wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall, shelved for the season with ankle injuries.

Lewis’ grab was one they could all be proud of. The team’s No. 1 wide receiver by default — he caught three passes for a career-high 55 yards — grabbed a 34-yard reception with 1:58 left in overtime to set up Aldrick Rosas’ game-winning 23-yard field goal.

“It feels great, but one thing nobody can take away from is my big-play mentality and my ability to go make a play,” he said. “That’s what I have to do all the time. It’s a huge blessing. I just want to make plays to help the team win.”

On fourth-and-5 at the Chiefs 36, Eli Manning beat an all-out blitz by finding Lewis on a go-pattern down the left sideline. Pass interference was called on Chiefs cornerback Phillip Gaines, but Lewis still caught the pass as he was dragged down to the turf and his right arm was being held down by Gaines.

“I got to come up with that,” Lewis said. “I’m an undrafted guy. I just got to make that play.”

When reminded the catch was similar to some of the great grabs Beckham has made in his time in the NFL, Lewis grinned broadly.

“Odell’s like a big brother of mine, but I can do that, too,” he said.
