Who do the New York Giants need to step up if they want to end their seven-game losing streak? Which units have an advantage against the Saints, another team that has been severely tested this season?
Quarterback Drew Lock will get another chance to improve his value with the New York Giants (2-10) when he makes his second straight start Sunday against the visiting New Orleans Saints (4-8) .
Both teams have struggled this season, with the Giants losing seven straight games, a number equal to that of the Saints before beating Atlanta on November 19. If that’s not enough, several key starters on both sides will be out due to injuries.
All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II (elbow), the anchor of the Giants’ defensive line, is out for the season. Other defenders Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Bobby Okereke and Deonte Banks are injured and have been declared out of the match.
The Saints are without three of their four best players on offense: receivers Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee surgery) and TE/utility player Taysom Hill (knee).
Paul Dottino details all these questions in the latest episode of the “Big Blue Breakdown” podcast.
