Five Ways The Giants Could Lose vs. Falcons

If Atlanta’s Run Game Gets Going

This goes along with the first point. Should Atlanta get going on the ground with Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman at that, it’ll spell trouble for New York.

We know what Jones brings, but Roddy White looked like he too had some tread left on the tires after his 4 catch, 84-yard performance against Philadelphia. The Giants can’t really be worrying about two slightly above average backs scampering around for five-yard gains with Atlanta sporting a healthy Jones and potentially rejuvenated White. Should Matt Ryan get that play action going, we’ll be seeing tired Giants corners running out of breath.

The front seven needs to play better than they did against Dallas and force Atlanta into more of one-dimensional mode. The backend needs some kind of break against a Falcons offense capable of reaching reach that lethal level.
