The New York Giants and the Seattle Seahawks square off in a key Week 4 matchup on Monday Night Football.Â
For the G-Men, they come into the home matchup sporting a 1-2 mark after losing on Thursday night to the San Francisco 49ers just over a week ago. Can they get back to .500 against another team that reached the playoffs last season?
We look at which members of the Giants will need to have big games to get them the win on Monday including the exploits of an unsung hero to the offense.
Daniel Jones
Fresh off a new contract in the offseason, 2023 hasn’t been kind to Daniel Jones just yet. The former first-round pick may have been coming off a career year but has struggled to start the new season due to poor receiver and offensive line play in front of him. Jones is being pressured more than any other year in his career, and it’s a big reason why the Giants have struggled to gain any sort of traction on offense.Â
If New York wants to change that, the offensive line needs adjusting. Until that time, Jones will continue to get a majority of the negative press surrounding the 1-2 start, but it may not all be on him. Getting to 2-2 with a win against Seattle would go a long way.Â
Darren Waller
The Darren Waller experiment in New York hasn’t worked out just yet. 12 catches for 130 yards is better than top tight ends like Dallas Goedert but as the top receiving option for his team, Waller’s lack of major production hurts his team more. If the Giants are going to move the ball on Monday night (regardless if Saquon Barkley plays or not) they need to get some plays through the air that work.Â
Getting Waller going early could help in a major way.Â
