While the Giants have played better in recent weeks, they are struggling to close out games. In the past two games, the Giants jumped out to early dominant leads. However, they allowed both Washington and Philadelphia to chip away at their lead in the second half.

The offense starts to stall, the defense starts to give up big yardage plays and suddenly it’s a tight game. On the first play of the second half, the Giants gave up their biggest rushing play of the season which turned into a Philadelphia touchdown. The Giants have to play better in the second half against teams outside of the NFC East.
