The Giants are desperate to avoid an 0-4 start heading into their Week 4 matchup against the Saints.
Although the Giants suffered multiple injuries during their 17-14 loss to the Falcons, quarterback Daniel Jones is expected to take advantage of the running game to propel New York towards taking their first victory in the Superdome since 1993. Running back Saquon Barkley is adjusting to more playing time on the field, totaling 134 rushing yards and a touchdown through three games since he tore his ACL and abruptly ended his season in 2020.
The Big Blue totals 321 yards and averages 107 yards per game on the ground, but will likely be tested by the Saints' confident defense. Ranked third in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game at 60.3, New Orleans' defense has the potential to shut down the Giants' game entirely. Linebacker Demario Davis leads the Saints in tackles with 24, followed by safety Malcolm Jenkins with 16.
New Orleans quarterback Jameis Winston is still adjusting to the play style of coach Sean Payton. Winston completed 38 of 63 passes for 387 yards and totals two touchdowns and two interceptions through his first three games starting for the franchise. As Winston continues to adjust to the style of the veteran coach, he has the potential to push the Saints to a 3-1 record.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the Week 4 NFL matchup.
