Howard making them count

McCoy changing course

Since 2015, Gerald McCoy‘s pass-rush grade and run defense grade have been going in opposite directions.

On deep throws (attempts that travel 20+ yards downfield), the Buccaneers have allowed a league-worst 140.3 passer rating.

 

Manning struggling with play action

Giants defense struggling to generate pressure

The Giants haven't got to opposing quarterbacks as much as they'd like. Their 99 total pressures as a team rank 28th in the league.
