3.) Run the football well
The Giants have enjoyed three consecutive games with 140+ rushing yards, and with reserve back Wayne Gallman having scored six touchdowns in the last five weeks, we should expect the offense to rely on the ground game. The only issue, Seattle has a top-three run defense in the NFL, indicating the Giants are going to have to throw the ball if they want to put points on the board. With Jones out, Colt McCoy will get the start, and with Seattle representing the worst pass defense in the NFL, Jones’ injury couldn’t come at a worse time.
The one category the Giants have dominated the past three weeks is time of possession, and if they can walk away with more offensive possessions, they can increase the probability of winning.
