The Drew Brees weapon the Giants had no answer for

Drew Brees was pedestrian, at least by his lofty standards. Michael Thomas was held without a catch for nearly the entire first half. But the Giants had no answer for Alvin Kamara, the third member of the explosive Saints trio, and he was more than enough to burn them.

Kamara exploded for 102 of his season-high 134 rushing yards after halftime, and scored on runs of 9, 4 and 49 yards, leading the Saints to a 33-18 win at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

The Giants clearly miss outside linebacker and top pass-rusher Olivier Vernon, who has yet to play this season after suffering a high ankle sprain.
