EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants faced explosive passing offenses the past two weeks. The Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks, with Dak Prescott and Geno Smith at quarterback respectively, have the second- and third-ranked passing attacks.
Lost amid the barrage of sacks by New York's defense, the Giants' young secondary held up just fine. The Cowboys (213 passing yards) and Seahawks (231) were held well below their season averages.
It's a positive sign after a slow start to the season for the likes of cornerbacks Deonte Banks, Cor'Dale Flott & Co.
