The New York Giants stormed into Washington on Sunday afternoon and beat the brakes off the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks.

The final score of 17-12 does not accurately represent just how physically dominating the Giants were in Week 13, especially on the defensive side of the ball where they completely manhandled Russell Wilson and the high-powered Hawks.

Up and down, side-to-side, the Giants defense played like a team of All-Pros. James Bradberry, Logan Ryan, Jabrill Peppers, Blake Martinez, Carter Coughlin, Cam Brown, Niko Lalos and so many more deserve a tip of the cap.

In the end, however, it’s veteran defensive lineman Leonard Williams who shined the brightest for the second week in a row.

Williams finished the game with three tackles (two for a loss), five QB hits, and 2.5 sacks.

“That’s a man, man. That dude is a man,” head coach Joe Judge said after the game.

Williams didn’t just dominate the game, he dominated in the biggest and most important spots. On a third-and-10 with under 1:00 remaining in the fourth quarter, Williams split a double-team block on a stunt to the inside and brought quarterback Russell Wilson down.

Yes, Seattle still had a play to run, but the game ended with that sack.

Remember when general manager Dave Gettleman caught heat for acquiring Williams from the Jets? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
