The Giants had a strong defensive performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Can they keep Drew Brees and the Saints’ potent offense in check?
Their 2015 Week 8 loss to the Saints might be the most heart-wrenching of that season. Eli Manning was stellar, completing 30-of-41 passes for 511 yards and 6 touchdowns, twice leading the Giants back from 14-point deficits.
Eli and the offense didn’t lose the game.
That was on the defense. The Giants’ woebegone defense was utterly unable to pressure Drew Brees or slow the Saints’ offense down in any way, other than Trumaine McBride’s 67-yard pick six.
