Walker has officially taken back over the backfield, coming off of a week when he totaled 11 carries and 71 yards. He now faces a Minnesota defense that has allowed the 10th most rushing yards per game all season (128.7) and the sixth-most over the last few weeks.
Craig Woodson and Jaylinn Hawkins have been the iron men of this defense, with the first and fourth most snaps played, respectively. Woodson has operated all over the defensive formation, while Hawkins has operated as more of a deep safety than anything else in this primarily single-high safety defense.
The New York Giants and New England Patriots will provide the caboose for NFL Week 13 when they meet on Monday Night Football. Can the 2-10 Giants pull off an upset of the 10-2 Patriots? Let’s see what the Big Blue View staff thinks in this week’s NFL staff picks and predictions.
The New York Giants and Detroit Lions face off in Week 12 of the NFL regular season today. Here's where to watch and start time.
The Patriots' offensive line, from left to right, will be Vederian Lowe, Ben Brown, Garrett Bradbury, Mike Onwenu, and Morgan Moses. Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday, ruling him out for Monday Night Football and the next few weeks at a minimum.
The Giants collapsed again, blowing a double-digit fourth-quarter lead in a 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions, tying an NFL record.
New York sports radio host Tommy Lugauer had high praise for Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, arguing that Dart is “more advanced” than Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen was as a rookie in 2018.
PFSN also has New York taking a linebacker in its mock draft -- Georgia's CJ Allen with the No. 34 pick. He has helped the Bulldogs become one of the top defenses in the SEC, posting three and a half sacks, 40 solo tackles, seven tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
