2.) Win the turnover battle

The Giants have been unable to win the turnover battle through two weeks, as Daniel Jones threw two interceptions against the Steelers and one against the Chicago Bears. He also fumbled and week two. If the Giants wish to walk away with a victory, they must keep the ball safe and allow their defense to make plays. Cornerback James Bradberry recorded one interception and tipped a ball that landed in the hands of safety Julian Love last week — hopefully, he can continue his hot streak.

Bradberry was the highest-graded defender for the Giants in week two and has been their primary playmaker. The interior defensive line has also done a solid job getting after the quarterback and stopping the run, but strong safety Jabrill Peppers must utilize his playmaking ability and impact the game more effectively.

Whatever team wins the turnover battle on Sunday will likely walk away with a victory under their belt.
