The New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks were in competition all last year for an NFC Wild Card spot. The Seahawks beat the Giants 27-13 that season, though both teams ended up making the playoffs.
It’s only Week 4, but it’s very possible their matchup Monday could once again have huge effects on the conference. The Giants need to win to avoid a 1-3 start to the season. The Seahawks could improve to 3-1 and remain a contender in the NFC West.
The Seahawks opened their season with a lopsided loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but since then they’ve beaten the Carolina Panthers and Detroit Lions. The Giants have won just one game in a comeback victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
Seattle boasts a balanced offensive attack which ranks 13th in the league in passing yards per game and 16th in rushing yards per game. The Giants will need all three of their top cornerbacks to be dialed in to defend against DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Seattle is also known as a relatively polished, mistake-free football team. That could be dangerous for a Giants squad that still doesn’t have a forced turnover this season and has been committing more penalties than almost every other team.
Left tackle Andrew Thomas will miss his third straight game. Saquon Barkley is listed as doubtful.
