The Giants did not look like they belonged on the same field as the Eagles during Sunday’s 48-22 drubbing. But as banged up as they are, a win next Sunday night over the Commanders (which would be their first over a non-Texans team since Oct. 23) would put them in great position to still make the playoffs. A loss, and it’s hard to see a way back.
After surrendering 253 rushing yards to the Eagles, New York is down to 29th in defensive DVOA, 31st against the run. Tremaine Edmunds has been a star for the Bills’ defense, but with Matt Milano under contract and a cap-crunch coming, they might have to let him leave. Where better to go, in that case, than New York, where Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll will know him well?
