Beyond the box score: Young defenders offer Giants reason for optimism

The numbers are mostly nothing short of awful for the New York Giants after three weeks.

  • 30th in a 32-team league in points allowed.
  • 31st in the league in yards allowed.
  • Last in passing yards allowed per game (332.3).
  • 31st in passer rating against.
  • 28th in first downs allowed.
  • 31st in yards allowed per play.

There are probably more where these came from. You get the point, though. The defense has not been very good. In fact, it’s been downright bad by most any statistical measure.
