New York Giants: 3 keys to beating the Seattle Seahawks

2.) Put pressure on Russell Wilson

Putting pressure on Russell Wilson is essential for this game Considering he has 10 interceptions on the year, one more than Daniel Jones, it is clear that the Giants can force turnovers against the 32-year-old quarterback. He’s been sacked 35 times this season, which suggests that the OL has been problematic at times.

Attacking rookie right guard Damian Lewis from LSU is the Giants’ best chance of getting after Wilson. With a 54.5 overall grade, per PFF, Lewis is the weakest link in pass protection. While he’s been dominating in the run game, the Giants match up well in that category and need to excel when Wilson drops back into the pocket. In addition, Lewis has been hit with nine penalties this year, which ranks second in the league.

Nonetheless, the Giants are thin at outside linebacker with Kyler Fackrell hitting injured reserve, so expect to see a rotation of Carter Coughlin, Cam Brown, and Jabaal Sheard.
