2.) Can the secondary hold up against better passing teams?

The Giants’ saving grace this season has been their defense, which currently ranks 12th and points allowed per game and sixth in rushing yards allowed per game.

However, their secondary hasn’t been very good, aside from star corner James Bradberry. Their secondary has allowed the 24th most yards per game at 257.7.

Ultimately, the CB2 position has been a major liability, as Isaac Yiadom has been tasked with holding it down. While Isaac had his best game of the season against Philadelphia in week 10, he has been awful in coverage for the most part.

Hopefully, his development will prove to be essential, given he’s experienced 100% of the reps the last three games. The New York Giants are expected to gain back Ryan Lewis, though, who could eat into his snaps. This is the one position the Giants are extremely thin at and need continuity.
