Giants vs Commanders injury report and team news
Jevón Holland has three interceptions for the Giants, a share of the NFL lead.
Washington’s red-zone defence has conceded on 80% of opponent trips.
Both quarterback situations will be confirmed by Friday’s designations.
New York GiantsWashington CommandersThree points, four games
New York’s +3 differential is the thinnest of any team with a winning record. Three one-score wins is a skill right up until it is not.
The pass rush is the concern. Three sacks in four games is the lowest in the league, and a defence that cannot pressure the quarterback eventually gets picked apart.
Washington is the right opponent to paper over it, having conceded 14 touchdowns and 122 points, with an 80% red-zone rate against.
Players to watch
- Cam Skattebo (NYG, RB): 235 rushing yards against a defence conceding 3.98 a carry.
- Malik Nabers (NYG, WR): The primary target in an offence with 691 passing yards.
- Terry McLaurin (WAS, WR): Washington’s senior receiver in a passing game rating 89.9.
- Jacory Croskey-Merritt (WAS, RB): Carries a run game averaging 4.2 a carry.
