Giants.com breaks down Giants vs. Vikings with a frame-by-frame look at two key plays:
I chose two plays this week that show how the Giants’ defensive ends affected the Vikings’ offense, even though they didn’t collect any sacks.
Playing the Passing Lane
Situation: The first play has the Vikings in a second-and-eight from the Giants 26-yard line with 7:52 remaining in the third quarter. The Vikings are up 14-3 and driving, with a touchdown putting the Giants in a terrible position for a potential comeback.
At the snap, you see the Giants in their base defense with three linebackers in the game (Devon Kennard, Kelvin Sheppard, and Jonathan Casillas).
