The New York Giants season is on the line as they visit New Orleans to play the Saints for Monday Night Football. The Giants have been dropping in the NFC East like a rock and their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles has put them into a precarious position.
The Giants defense has struggled and their offense will be without Ahmad Bradshaw, who is officially out of commission for this game. The Giants have shown weakness on defense on the edges and this is the wrong quarterback to give any ground to on the outside. Here is a quick breakdown of the essentials for this game.
New Orleans Saints Offense vs New York Giants Defense
The New Orleans Saints offense, led by Drew Brees, is a machine when they are on and with the New York Giants defense struggling on coverage he could have a field day against the corners. The Giants defense ranks 18th against the pass but they give up big plays. Not a good thing when they are facing the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL.
New Orleans Saints Defense vs New York Giants Offense
The New Orleans Saints defense is not much better than the Giants and they are giving up some big yardage against the run and against the pass. Eli Manning is not the reason the Giants are struggling. His passing numbers rank No. 5 in the NFL and the offense is explosive through the air. The running game leaves much to be desired though.
