With training camp now just under two weeks away, the New York Giants will be looking to rekindle and build off of their 2016 success. The Giants were one of the NFL’s biggest surprises in 2016, going 11-5 and making their first postseason appearance in five years.
Their defense was a big reason for that success. After committing over $200 million to that side of the ball in free agency, the Giants defense saw a significant improvement after giving up the most yards in the league the year prior.
Despite their 2016 success though, Will Brinson of CBS Sports has the Giants winning just eight games in 2017, stating that their defense could potentially “catch up” with them.
