More production from RB unit is key to playoff push

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Twelve games into the season, the Giants continue to search for the rushing attack they thought they had when it began.

With a quartet of running backs and a revamped offensive line, the Giants were confident the numbers produced by their ground game would improve over last year, when they were 23rd in the NFL with an average of 100.2 yards game. But they’ve moved in the other direction and enter the season’s final quarter 29th in the league, with an average of 88.1 rushing yards a game. Their 3.7 yards-per-carry average is exactly what it was at the end of the 2014 season.
