Something has to give when a Giants offense with the second-fewest passing yards in the NFL faces a Ravens defense that has allowed the most.
The Giants barely do what the Ravens can’t stop.
“They have ballhawks in the back end that do a good job of tackling, stripping and punching at the ball,” Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said. “I know maybe the stats don’t show it or whatever, but we’ve got to be prepared for a physical game and … put our best foot forward as far as being fundamentally sound and doing the things we want to do on offense.”The Ravens have allowed 16 completions of 20 yards or more on the way to 290.2 passing yards allowed per game.
So, the plays are there to be made for David Sills, Richie James, Darius Slayton and Marcus Johnson , especially if the Ravens see those names and ease up after facing tandems like Stefon Diggs-Gabriel Davis, Ja’Marr Chase-Tee Higgins and Tyreek Hill-Jaylen Waddle during the first five games. The play-action-pass-heavy Giants have just six completions of 20 yards or more — no other team has fewer than 11 — figured into 171.8 yards per game. Minimal contributions from Wan’Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney have stifled the numbers, and only Robinson is close to returning from injury.
