EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Giants are making life easier for Eli Manning since the bye week.
After opening with a 1-7 record, Pat Shurmur’s team has won four of five by doing all the little things that make a quarterback look good.
The offensive line, which was much maligned before the bye, has been reshaped and is protecting the two-time Super Bowl MVP better while opening holes for sensational rookie halfback Saquon Barkley to show his skills.
The defense has forced 12 turnovers in the five-game span, including 11 interceptions.
