Tom Coughlin presented a very simple recipe for beating the Patriots.
"We have to take care of our process, our production, better than we ever have before," he said on Wednesday. "That's really what the challenge is for our players, both in the classroom and on the field."

The Patriots are a juggernaut with a perfect 8-0 record, a quarterback playing the best football of his Hall of Fame career and a head coach who likely sees plenty of areas on the Giants' roster that he can exploit.
