The defense is coming together
Since the arrival of defensive lineman Leonard Williams, the Giants have been much more formidable up front. The linebackers have begun to step up their games as well.
The Giants have been tightening up against the run the past month and Miami is last in the league in rushing, averaging only 67.3 yards per game. That means they’ll have to pass if they want to win.
Not that the Giants are world beaters against the pass (they’re not), but this will be an opportunity for them to pin their ears back go after veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick who has been sacked 33 times this season.
