Despite having the 5th best defense in points allowed and 13th best defense in yards per game allowed, the New York Giants aren’t stopping there. They want to see improvement on a weekly basis and recognize their positive momentum with gradual growth.
While the offense hasn’t followed a similar model, defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has done a fantastic job piecing together a unit that was expected to be a weakness during the 2020 season. The Giants, who have started the year 0–4, have been stellar stopping opposing teams from getting in the end zone.
With the offense unable to increase their time of possession and hold onto the football, the defense has done more of the heavy lifting.
