Giants Defense Has Tough Matchup In Week 7

3 weeks ago

The New York Giants defense/special teams will face a tough test in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, who bring the 10th-ranked offense, averaging 366.8 yards per game. The Giants defense, ranked 10th overall and allowing just 20.2 points per game, has been stout in key areas, particularly in the red zone, where they've allowed touchdowns on only 41.7% of visits (5th best in the NFL). With 26 sacks on the season, the Giants will look to pressure Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and limit their scoring opportunities. However, the return of former Giant Saquon Barkley, who's averaging 96.4 rushing yards per game, could challenge the Giants' 15th-ranked run defense, making it critical to contain him to keep the game close.
