Giant Bust: New York has a Big Play Problem

From a football nerd standpoint, few things are more satisfying than tooling around the game play finder in Pro Football Resources and finding new dirt to throw on a division rival like the New York Giants. No, this is not about the Giants having the 2nd worst turnover ratio in the red zone in the last three years even though the Eli Manning is still being heralded as a franchise quarterback in New York. This is about a leaky defense and its leaky secondary.

In 2017, the Giants ranked tied for 3rd in plays of 40 yards or more allowed in the passing game while also being tied for 1st in touchdowns allowed of 40-plus yards through the air.
