STUD – Kyler Fackrell

Fackrell, signed by the Giants early in free agency this spring, has turned into a turnover machine.

Sunday, Fackrell’s sack and forced fumble off Washington quarterback Kyle Allen that rookie linebacker Tae Crowder returned for a 43 yard touchdown proved to be one of the game’s deciding moments.

Fackrell finished Sunday’s game with three tackles, one sack, three quarterback hits, and the forced fumble.

Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham rarely dialed up the blitz or sent extra pressure on Allen, but Fackrell certainly capitalized on his chance to late in Sunday’s game.
