Giants in no rush to be critical of running game

The Giants haven't had a 100-yard rushing game so far this season.

No, not by an individual. That's as a team. The most they have gained on the ground in any particular game was the 99 they had against the Cowboys in the opener. On the year they average 91.2 yards per game, which is 26th in the NFL.

Clearly, that's an area that has to be fixed for the team to succeed.

Or is it?

Justin Pugh doesn't seem to think so. The starting left guard said he was happy with Sunday's rushing performance against the 49ers even though the Giants only ran the ball 21 times for 84 yards.
