EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants' defense didn't have outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Yet, it didn't seem to slow it.
Thibodeaux's fill-in, Azeez Ojulari, was constantly in the backfield. He had two sacks and six pressures, which tied for most of any player in Week 6. On the other side, outside linebacker Brian Burns had four pressures and two tackles for loss. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II chipped in with his seventh sack of the season, a half-sack off his career high. Mind you, it's six games into the season.
