Containing the Eagles’ running backs is the Giants’ top priority in Week 6.
JOHN SCHMEELK: Fact - The Giants have been great defending the run this year, and I expect that to continue against an Eagles offensive line that has struggled at times. Where the Eagles running backs can hurt the Giants is catching the ball out of the backfield. Philly will use all three running backs as receivers, and all can make big game-changing plays as receivers.
DAN SALOMONE: Fiction - This game pits the reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Week in Giants quarterback Eli Manning against the NFC Defensive Player of the Week in Eagles defensive end Fletcher Cox, who had three sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and six tackles in a 39-17 win over New Orleans.
