Giants’ Janoris Jenkins turns in performance he desperately need

It’s been an eventful few weeks for Janoris Jenkins.

When he was last at MetLife Stadium, Jenkins was passing blame for poor coverage in the secondary on the front seven not applying enough pass-rush pressure on the quarterback after a loss to Buffalo.

Last week in Tampa, he allowed Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans to catch seven passes for 146 yards and three TDs — in the first half of a game the Giants eventually won.

And on Sunday, Jenkins picked off two passes from Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. to help seal the Giants’ 24-3 victory.
