New York's primary disadvantage has been their defense, which has allowed a monstrous 367 yards per game this year, sliding them into the #8 spot among the league's worst. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #1-most yards per carry: 5.51. That kind of ineffectiveness has also leached over to their pass defense, which has landed them in the #25 spot in terms of yards per target (8.19). Giants defensive ends are perhaps most responsible for their dismal run defense this year, given that they grade out as the #3-worst unit in the NFL. When it comes to their offense, the Giants check in at #30 in football when it comes to total yards per game. Their passing game has compiled 207 yards per game (#27 in football). Their run game has ranked #21 with 4.04 yards per attempt on the ground.

Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #3-most yards per carry: 5.26. That's not to give any unnecessary credit to their pass defense, though, which checks in at #9-worst in yards per target (8.16). The Saints defensive tackles have played a big part in their inability to stop the run, ranking #1-worst in the NFL by this measure.
