An inside look at Sunday’s Giants-Commanders NFL Week 7 matchup at MetLife Stadium.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin vs. Giants CB Deonte BanksIn his seven career games versus the Giants, McLaurin has 50 receptions for 650 yards and three touchdowns.Banks helped the defense do a credible job last week on Stefon Diggs, even though Diggs had 10 catches for 100 yards. Diggs was targeted so often — 16 times — that it was impossible to contain him entirely.Banks rarely comes off the field and is quietly putting together a strong rookie season.
No “let’s run it and manage the game’’ with him. Howell is fifth in the league in passing attempts with 214. He tossed three touchdown passes in a 24-16 victory last week in Atlanta and in three career road starts has six TD passes and no interceptions.“They drop back and pass a lot and he slings it,’’ Giants head coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s not afraid to turn it loose, stands in the pocket, has a good arm. He’s not afraid to fire it. So, he’s a tough competitor. Liked him coming out, and he’s done a good job there.
The Commanders have four vaunted former first-round picks — Chase Young, Daron Payne, Jonathan Allen and Montez Sweat — filling their defensive line, but their defense against the run is nothing special, just 23rd in the league and allowing 129 rushing yards per game.Darryl Strawberry was supposed to go to Israel
