The Giants.com crew is presented with four statements and must decide whether they are Fact or Fiction.

Finishing in the red zone is the Giants' top offensive priority through the first quarter of the season.

John Schmeelk: Fiction – This is important, but I think the top priority has to be connecting on deep pass opportunities. The Giants are only one of five NFL teams that have not completed a pass that has traveled at least 30 yards in the air. They are only one of five NFL teams that have just one completion of 30 or more yards. The Giants need to be better inside the 20, but they can also score touchdowns from outside the red zone. They have not done that so far this season and that needs to change if the Giants want to score more than 15 points per game and walk away with more victories.

Dan Salomone: Fiction – Finishing drives, period, is the top priority. The Giants have scored just six offensive touchdowns in four games (two of those games included no touchdowns).

Matt Citak: Fact – Finishing in the red zone should be the top priority for just about any team across the NFL. The Giants failed to punch it into the end zone on either of their trips inside the 20 against the Cowboys last week, which played a big role in the team settling for five field goals. Four games in, the Giants rank 20^th in the league with a touchdown on 50 percent of their trips inside the red zone. With a matchup against a talented Seahawks offense on deck, the Giants can't afford to settle for all field goals this Sunday.

Stopping the run is the Giants' top defensive priority through the first quarter of the season.

John Schmeelk: Fact – I guess I will go with "fact" here for a couple of reasons. The Giants have had too many games where they haven't been able to stop the run even though their 118.5 rush yards allowed per game is right in the middle of the league. An improved rush defense would also allow the Giants to force more third-and-long situations, which would allow their pass rush to activate and force more takeaways. The Giants' defense needs more game-changing plays, and their best shot at getting those is by first stopping the run.

Dan Salomone: Fiction – A few phrases from defensive coaches stuck out to me coming off the extended break:

"Take away the easy throws."

"Make them throw the hard ones."

"We have to just continue to fight, scratch, and claw that we get those balls on the ground."

The Giants are allowing the third-highest completion percentage (72.6) to opposing quarterbacks and want to change that.

Matt Citak: Fact – There is no denying the Giants' defense has struggled against the run in recent years. However, the unit has seen some big improvement in that area through four games. The Giants head into Week 5 ranking 15^th in rushing yards allowed per game, and that is with Washington's 215 yards on the ground in Week 2 mixed in. The defense will have to keep it up this week as they attempt to slow down Seattle's top-notch rushing duo of Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet, with the former averaging nearly seven yards per carry with three touchdowns last Sunday at Detroit. Limiting those two backs on Sunday would go a long way in helping the Giants pull off the victory on the road.

The Giants will have a player with 100 catches for just the third time in 100 seasons.

John Schmeelk: Fact – If Malik Nabers remains healthy, he is going to have 100 catches this season. Brian Daboll has made it a priority to get him the football, and I don't see that changing. Nabers leads the NFL in targets with 52 targets, which is nine more than Nico Collins, who has the second-most in the NFL. I don't see any good reason why this trend should change as Nabers has proven he is the Giants most explosive and reliable weapon.

Dan Salomone: Fact – Especially with the 17^th game, it's high time for another 100-catch season. While his NFL-leading 35 reception total will be paused for at least a week due to a concussion, Malik Nabers has proven to be one of the best receivers in the league so far, rookie or otherwise.

Matt Citak: Fact – Malik Nabers is on pace to shatter the 100-catch mark while Wan'Dale Robinson is also on pace to reach that mark. The rookie has quickly become the focal point of the offense, and quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if they both reached that number.

Seattle is the toughest road venue in the NFC.

John Schmeelk: Fact – This is a tough one for me because ultimately the difficulty of a venue is dictated by the talent of the team that plays in it. The Chiefs rarely lose at home, but I think we all know that has more to do with Patrick Mahomes than the building. The same can be said when Tom Brady played in Foxboro. Is there a way to measure this in a vacuum? Seattle certainly has one of the loudest and enthusiastic crowds, but I've rarely been in a louder place than Minnesota at the end of the 2022 season. But what the heck, I'll go with Seattle here.

Dan Salomone: Fiction – Maybe it's just because I grew up in Minnesota, but whether it's the old Metrodome or U.S. Bank Stadium, you never leave a Vikings game without your ears ringing.

Matt Citak: Fact – There is a reason why Seahawks fans are referred to as "The 12s". The fans at Lumen Field have been known to give the Seahawks a significant home advantage, as opposing offenses are forced to use silent counts and hand signals to communicate through the crowd noise. The only NFC road venue that I can think of that is even close would be the Minnesota Vikings' U.S. Bank Stadium, and even that road venue likely doesn't hold a candle to Lumen Field.
