The New York Giants found more ways to lose this week despite a surprisingly solid defensive effort against the New Orleans Saints.
Hard to believe that this Giants offense, which finished with 325 total net yards, waited until the fourth quarter to get going. That’s when they posted 190 yards, meaning the other three quarters saw them post just 135 yards.
Malik Nabers gave it his best shot despite ailing with hip and groin injuries and finished with a team-leading 79 yards on five receptions. That was not horrible. I wish he had been more involved in the first half of the game. Considering defensive coordinator Shane Bowen was working with a crew that he had to slap together thanks to the injuries to defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence II, D.J. Davidson, and Rakeem Nunez-Roches, cornerback Deonte Banks, and inside linebacker Bobby Okereke, surprisingly, the defense was the least of the Giants' problems this week.
Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux each delivered a sack, the pass rush seemingly waking up again after a month-long slumber. The good? Dane Belton and Anthony Johnson alertly sniffed out and stopped a fake punt on a fourth down in the second quarter. Casey Rogers blocked a PAT. And Jamie Gillan did put four of his eight punts inside the 20, including two that landed inside the 10-yard line.
