Why Giants' Run Defense Has Collapsed

New York Giants kick off the Mike Kafka era facing a struggling Green Bay Packers squad, with major questions swirling around both teams’ offensive identities. Can quarterback Jameis Winston bring fireworks to the Giants’ attack, or will Jordan Love and the Packers finally rediscover their high-powered rhythm after consecutive disappointing outings?

Patricia Traina and Peter Bukowski break down key storylines, analyzing the Giants’ defensive woes and potential wild cards in the Packers’ play calling. Matchups spotlight Dexter Lawrence’s impact, Micah Parsons’ defensive versatility, and the potential X-factor of both offensive lines under pressure. With playoff hopes on the line and coaching futures at stake, can either team find the formula for victory at MetLife Stadium.
