Giants vs. Redskins: 3 keys to victory in Week 16

The New York Giants face the Washington Redskins this Sunday on the road. There are three keys to a Big Blue victory behind the return of Daniel Jones.

The New York Giants face off against the Washington Redskins on the road this Sunday. A divisional game for which team falls last in the division. Not a place either team wants to be, for sure, but that’s where the division is at this week.

The Giants get Daniel Jones back, which changes things on the offensive side of the ball. Meanwhile the Redskins secondary could feature new players depending on injuries, which would really shake things up for both teams.

That said, here are this week’s keys to victory for Big Blue:

Show Haskins looks he hasn’t seen

Dwayne Haskins took over as starter for Case Keenum halfway through the season. His debut, however, came against the Giants at the end of September, so this isn’t his first shot at the New York. Since it’s not the first time he’s seen this team, the Giants need to throw some different looks at him on defense than what he saw the first go-round.

James Bettcher needs to come up with some schemes that force Haskins to make bad decisions. Making the rookie have to think about things will make calling out coverages and changing the play at the line more difficult. The more he is confused, the better chance the Giants defense has at shutting him down.
