The Giants defense failed its last test miserably, when Tennessee’s Derrick Henry ran roughshod over them in Sunday’s loss.
Defensive coordinator James Bettcher had a pretty simple explanation for what happened.
“We didn’t tackle as well as we needed to tackle,’’ Bettcher said Thursday. “Overall, we need to tackle better. A hundred yards rushing in last week’s game came after missed tackles.”
Tennessee finished with 215 yards on the ground — 170 from Henry — and the Giants face a different challenge this weekend when they visit the Colts.
