Giants-Saints snap counts: Eli Apple plays 59 of 62 snaps

There are several interesting things we can glean from a look at the snap counts Sunday in the New York Giants’ 16-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Perhaps none more interesting, though, than the fact that rookie cornerback Eli Apple played 59 of 62 defensive snaps, while Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie played just 39.

Is DRC, who has over the past couple of seasons been on and off the field during games while managing a variety of injuries, once again banged up?

DRC said certain "packages'' dictated his reduced playing time.
