Following a big win on the road, the Giants are back at MetLife Stadium this weekend for a primetime matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday Night Football.
Last week, the Giants flew across the country and defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 29-20, to improve their record to 2-3 on the season. Meanwhile, the Bengals lost a tough divisional game to the Ravens, falling 41-38 in overtime as their record dropped to 1-4.
The two teams have met just 11 times, with the Bengals holding a 6-5 lead in the series. However, the Giants have won three of the last four games against the Bengals, including a 19-17 win in their last meeting back in 2020.
Here are five storylines to follow on Sunday Night Football.
Nabers 'feeling better'; Kayvon 'week to week'
The Giants played without star wide receiver Malik Nabers last week after the rookie, who still leads the NFL in receptions despite missing Week 5, did not travel with the team to Seattle while he remained in concussion protocol. When talking to the media Wednesday, coach Brian Daboll said the rookie is improving and will work off to the side during the first practice of the week.
"He's doing better," Daboll said prior to practice. "He's still in the protocol. He'll do some stuff off to the side outside with the training staff today. So, day-to-day.
Daboll added, "We're going to get him out here on the grass today. So, he didn't do that last week. He's feeling better. But again, I'll take those very seriously and go through each step. But he is doing better. So, we'll see how he does after he does some activity out there on the grass today."
Nabers wasn't the only offensive starter to miss last week's win. Running back Devin Singletary was sidelined due to a groin injury that he suffered against the Cowboys. The veteran returned to practice as a limited participant last Friday, and was once again back on the practice field Wednesday. Daboll said the 27-year-old running back is "trending in the right direction."
It wasn't all good news on the injury front. Daboll announced that outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux is "week to week" after he suffered a wrist injury in Sunday's win in Seattle. Thibodeaux had surgery on his wrist Wednesday morning, according to Daboll.
"I'm not going to give you a timeline or anything like that," the head coach said. "I would just say he's week to week. I'm encouraged with what I've heard. But again, you never know."
Two offensive linemen also did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Left guard Jon Runyan Jr. is ill, while right guard Greg Van Roten was given a veteran rest day.
DJ, playmakers stepping up
Over the last four games, Daniel Jones has completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 952 yards (an average of 238 yards per contest), six touchdowns and just one interception, which came on a Hail Mary pass at the end of Week 4. Jones has thrown for multiple touchdowns with no interceptions and a 100+ passer rating in three out of the last four games, while completing at least 67 percent of his passes in three of the four, as well.
Perhaps the most encouraging part of Jones' outing against the Seahawks was his deep ball. In Seattle, Jones hit both of his deep attempts for 71 yards and a touchdown. He also ran the ball a season-high 11 times for 38 yards and forced an impressive six missed tackles, according to Pro Football Focus.
"It's always been fun to coach him because he's a true pro," Daboll said about Jones after the game. "Again, always want the results, but have a lot of confidence in him, how he's playing, how he's preparing. You know, feel comfortable putting the ball in his hands. That's what we did early in the game. We went after them a little bit throwing the ball. So got a lot of confidence in him."
Even with both Nabers and Singletary sidelined, the Giants' offense finished with season-highs of 420 total yards of offense, 24 first downs, and a 37:22 time of possession. The guys that filled in for Nabers and Singletary played a big role in the offense's success. Darius Slayton was targeted 11 times and caught eight of them for 122 yards and his first touchdown of the season. The 122 yards was the third-highest total of his career and the most he's had in a game since the 2020 season. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the backfield with 18 carries for 129 yards, good for an average of 7.2 yards per carry. It was the first time the Giants had a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver in the same game since 2019.
The unit has a good opportunity to keep the momentum going this week against the Bengals. Cincinnati's defense enters this matchup ranking 31st in points and 26th in yards allowed. They've also struggled to get off the field in key situations, as they currently rank 31st in third down defense, 30th in fourth down defense and 25th in red zone defense.
Defense wreaking havoc
The offense isn't the only unit to get things going over the last few weeks. Since Week 2, the Giants' defense has not allowed an opponent to score more than 21 points. The Commanders, Browns, Cowboys, and Seahawks averaged just 19 points per game against the Giants, which over the full season would have the unit ranking eighth in the NFL. When you include the Week 1 loss, the Giants' 20.8 points per game ranks 11th in the league. The numbers look even better when you consider that those stats include defensive touchdowns scored by the Vikings and Seahawks.
The Giants' pass rush came alive against the Seahawks, as the unit sacked Geno Smith seven times and finished with 24 total pressures, according to PFF. Leading the way was the team's talented trio of Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and Thibodeaux, who combined for 16 pressures and 4.5 sacks, including three from Lawrence alone. The back-to-back Pro Bowl defensive lineman is now up to six sacks on the season, the most by any Giant through five games since Jason Pierre-Paul had 6.5 in 2011. Lawrence is on pace to shatter his previous career-high of 7.5 sacks set in 2022.
"It's not an easy thing," Daboll said about Lawrence's performance. "I mean, there was times last week where there were three guys on him. So, again, he understands that. When he gets his opportunities, he's got to make them go. Very thankful that he's on our football team."
Lawrence's dominant start has helped the Giants rack up a league-leading 22 sacks over their first five games, two more than any other team and the second-most in franchise history through five weeks (26 in 1985). But the defense's dominance goes beyond only sacks. According to analytics analyst Warren Sharp, the Giants lead the NFL in havoc rate, a stat that measures the rate of plays that result in sacks, forced fumbles, interceptions, tackles for loss or pass breakups.
While the Bengals' defense might be struggling to start the season, the same cannot be said about their offense. Cincinnati ranks fourth in points scored and ninth in yards gained, led by their elite passing attack, while their third down offense, fourth down offense and red zone offense all rank within the top 5 in the NFL. This will serve as a good test for the Giants' defense, who's third down defense (No. 11), fourth down defense (No. 14) and red zone defense (No. 10) all rank inside the top half of the league.
O-line coming together
In the Week 4 loss to the Cowboys, the Giants could not get the ground game going, finishing with a season-low 26 rushing yards. With 10 days until their next game, the offensive line put an emphasis on identifying what went wrong against Dallas and fixing it in order to have more success in Seattle. Fix it they did, as the Giants ran for a season-high 175 yards with rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. averaging over seven yards per carry.
"It takes all 11 people to be successful offensively," Daboll told the media Monday about the O-line's performance. "Execution on the offensive side of the ball is obviously at a premium. So, you can have 10 people doing it right. And one guy getting beat, or maybe not on the same page and you have a breakdown, but yesterday … they don't need all that all. They need the truth in terms of 'here's are the plays that we ran, here were the breakdowns. This is what we need to improve on'. Whether it was perimeter blocking or inline blocking, running back reads, all those types of things. And you try to get better. One week has really nothing to do with the next week. So, we just went to work and identified some things that we wanted to try to get to and work on in practice and guys did a good job."
Improving the offensive line was one of the biggest priorities for the Giants this offseason. The unit has three new veteran starters in Jon Runyan Jr., Jermaine Eluemunor and Greg Van Roten, who combined with Andrew Thomas and John Michael Schmitz have been on the field for every single offensive snap through the first five games. They are the only starting offensive line across the league to play every snap together. Daboll noted on Monday how the line being made up of so many veteran players has helped the unit mesh quickly, which in turn has helped the offense as a whole improve.
"It starts up front," Daboll said. "Those five guys seeing the game through the same set of eyes. Without those guys, you're not getting plays downfield or an efficient passing game and pass protection or the screen game. And same thing with the run game, that's where it starts, but you need everybody on offense doing their job. But again, I've said this before, this is a veteran group. They mesh well together. They meet a lot. They're smart. If they make a mistake on something, usually by the next play or the next game, it's corrected. They know how to handle themselves in the classroom to get ready for a game.
"And then the communication part of it during the game is important. And I'll lean on those guys, just like I ask some of the receivers about routes and things like that. I'll go to those guys once the game gets into a flow and ask them what do they want to block? Sometimes it's outside, sometimes it's inside, sometimes it's pin and pull, sometimes it's gap. But they got a pretty good feel and they're good communicators. They're a good group to work with."
Scouting the Bengals
This week's game against the Bengals will be the toughest test to date for the Giants' defense. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is playing like an MVP candidate through the first stretch of the season. Burrow has completed 72.3 percent of his passes for 1,370 yards, a league-high 12 touchdowns, and just two interceptions for a passer rating on the season of 113.6. Despite last week's loss to the Ravens, the 27-year-old still completed 76.9 percent of his attempts for 392 yards, five touchdowns, and a 137.0 passer rating, all of which set new season-highs, although he did throw his second interception of the season.
The Bengals have one of the most talented wide receiver duos in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Chase ranks second in the league with 493 receiving yards, while his five receiving touchdowns are tied with Tampa Bay's Mike Evans for the most in the NFL. He is coming off a breakout performance against the Ravens, in which he reeled in 10 passes for a whopping 193 yards and two touchdowns. Higgins missed the first two games of the season but returned in Week 3. The fifth-year wideout has started to get going over the last two weeks, catching six passes for 60 yards in Week 4 before pulling in nine receptions for 83 yards and two touchdowns last week. Andre Iosivas, the team's third receiver, has registered 12 receptions for 153 yards and three touchdowns, while Mike Gesicki, the starting tight end, has 17 receptions for 178 yards.
"They're two different types of players, both outstanding at what they do," Daboll said about Chase and Higgins. "They put Chase everywhere. He can take it from a one-yard pass, 80 yards. Over 4,200 yards, 35 touchdowns, 34, whatever it may be. He's as good as it gets. And then throw Higgins in there, who's a top pick of the second round, who's big. Even when he's covered, he's not covered. It's very challenging. That's why they put up so many points. When you add Burrow to the mix, who's one of the premier passers in this league, it's difficult."
Cincinnati has a two-headed rushing attack, led by veteran Zack Moss. The fifth-year running back has carried the ball 57 times for 211 yards and two touchdowns while catching 15 passes for an additional 124 yards and a score. But not far behind Moss in terms of touches is Chase Brown, who has recorded 41 rush attempts for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Brown has also caught 10 passes for 39 yards and another touchdown. Moss injured his ankle in last week's loss to the Ravens, so his status should be monitored throughout the week.
Moving over to the Cincinnati defense, everything starts up front with defensive end Trey Hendrickson. The veteran pass rusher leads the team with three sacks, three quarterback hits and seven tackles for loss, and has racked up 22 total pressures through five games. Hendrickson had a season-high seven total pressures on Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson last week, according to PFF.
Elsewhere on the defense, defensive end Sam Hubbard has one sack and three quarterback hits, while linebacker Logan Wilson has a team-high 52 total tackles (29 solo) to go with his four quarterback hits. Linebacker Germaine Pratt is right behind Wilson with 51 total tackles (28 solo) and has a team-high two forced fumbles. Former Giant defensive tackle B.J. Hill just returned to game action last week after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury.
