James Bettcher on adversity, explosive plays and Leonard Williams

In preparing his 2-6 New York Giants to take on one of the best offenses in the league in the 4-3 Dallas Cowboys, defensive coordinator James Bettcher’s confidence comes from his players’ self-awareness.

“The thing I love about the group is when we come in after a game, our guys are aware,” Bettcher said. “Sometimes it’s hard to overcome adversity when you look at things and you don’t see the facts in them, the truth in them, and the areas that you need individually to get better.”

The Giants enter the Monday Night Football matchup ranked fourth-worst in the league in points allowed with 218 and sixth-worst in points allowed per game with 27.
