Giants starting defensive ends Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon have not lived up to expectations this season, recording a combined 11 sacks and four tackles for a loss. Big Blue has the NFL’s second fewest team sacks (22) and has struggled to create any consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks in 2017.

That could change on Sunday though, as New York’s pass rushers draw a favorable matchup against Arizona’s offensive tackles. Cardinals starting offensive tackles Will Holden and John Wetzel will look to keep JPP and Vernon at bay, but Arizona’s offensive line has already surrendered 49 sacks on the year.

The G-Men will need to get after Stanton and force him to throw errant passes if they hope to leave Arizona with a win in Week 16.
