The New York Giants are set to face the New Orleans Saints at home after a tie against Washington. Following a disappointing rushing performance, where they averaged just 3.7 yards per carry, the Giants aim to revitalize their ground game. Star running back Cam Skattebo has struggled this season, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, while the offensive line's run blocking has been rated poorly. Skattebo, who is recovering from a previous ankle injury, expressed confidence in turning his performance around, along with insights from teammate Tyrone Tracy on addressing the rushing issues. Head coach John Harbaugh may consider adjustments in strategy to enhance effectiveness prior to the matchup.
