The Anatomy of Great Pass Defense

Giants.com's John Schmleek breaks down the team's defensive stops against the Cowboys:

Given the dominating nature of the Giants’ defensive performance Sunday night, we’re going to do something different this week. Let’s call it: “The Anatomy of Great Pass Defense.”

I have pulled five different pictures that show the different ways the Giants’ defense made Dak Prescott look like a rookie quarterback for much of the game. It’s part scheme, part coverage, and part pressure all complementing each other. Prescott threw for only 165 yards and the Cowboys were only 1-for-15 on third downs.
