Giants' Matt Nagy must address Texans' pressure in Week 7 matchup
Summary

The New York Giants will face the Houston Texans on Sunday in Week 7, with Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy facing challenges due to a quarterback change from Jameis Winston to J.J. McCarthy. The Giants' offensive line has struggled with pass protection, ranking low in efficiency and allowing an average of 3.0 sacks per game. The Texans boast a strong defensive front led by Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, both of whom will test the Giants' protection scheme. Nagy is expected to look for solutions using a ground attack and modified offensive formations to alleviate pressure on McCarthy throughout the game.
