In all likelihood Sunday night’s showdown between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys will come down to one matchup: The Dallas offensive line vs. Giants’ defensive front.
There are a ton of other stories, like how the Giants will cope with the loss of Jason Pierre-Paul, the potential return of Justin Pugh and Shane Vereen, will have to continue to lean on their defense or will the offense finally pull its own weight.
But it all comes down to the battle in the trenches. It’s simply a fact of life now that the Giants will have to deal with life without JPP.
