The defensive line was considered the unquestioned strength of the New York Giants prior to the start of the 2024 season.
After all, the Giants had Dexter Lawrence, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Brian Burns starting. Likewise, they had Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Azeez Ojulari in their primary rotation. While that might not be the best defensive front in the NFL, it should certainly among the best. And to be fair, the Giants opened the season by leading the NFL in sacks and saw a marked improvement in their run defense over the first six weeks. The Giants gave up just 83.
