The Giants know they are going to need a team effort to stop Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert.
But some, or perhaps most, of the responsibility will fall to linebacker Keenan Robinson, who will be tasked with covering the 6-6, 250-pound behemoth on Monday night while the Giants also try to deal with wide receiver A.J. Green and a two-headed running game featuring Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard.
“He’s a great challenge,” the 6-3, 243-pound Robinson said of Eifert after practice Friday. “He’s one of those guys that is 6-5, 6-6 and can run and catch. He poses a great matchup threat to everyone — safeties, corners and linebackers.
