The Giants tied with Washington on Sunday, showcasing a strong pass rush by sacking Jayden Daniels five times and applying 24 pressures. This matches their increased effectiveness over the past two games following struggles earlier in the season. Despite this, Daniels' performance included nine rushes for 103 yards with two touchdowns, raising concerns about the Giants' ability to contain mobile quarterbacks. The Giants' defensive pressure will be tested again when they face the New Orleans Saints, who are ranked 27th in pass blocking efficiencies. Abdul Carter emphasized the need for improved discipline in rush lanes to handle Daniels better in their next matchup.
