Giants bench Deonte Banks during game vs. Steelers

Deonte Banks, whose effort has been questioned a number of times this season, appeared to be benched by the New York Giants in the second quarter of Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Banks, who did not appear to suffer an injury, was replaced by Greg Stroman for the final two defensive series of the first half.

Sounds like Giants had the biggest issue with Tae Banks on the TD that wasn't to George Pickens. Dexter Lawrence indicated that he thought Banks could have competed harder on the initial play in coverage, not just rallying to break up the play by pushing Pickens out of bounds.
