Breaking Down What's Wrong with the New York Giants Run Defense

After a strong start to the 2015 season, the New York Giants run defense, which resided in the top three spots league wide from Weeks 2 through 5, has taken a free-fall to 21st in the league after seven weeks thanks to its allowing opponents an average of 113.4 rushing yards per game.

What on earth is going on here? Is there a single solution to fix the problems of the last three weeks?

Lastly, is defensive tackle Markus Kuhn’s return to the defensive tackle rotation, which seems to have coincided with the start of the downward spiral for the Giants run defense, to blame?
