CB James Bradberry

Grade: A

Bradberry has done what he’s done all season, make his presence known all over the field.

In the first quarter, Bradberry worked around a natural pick to come up with a huge pass deflection on third down. The Eagles were driving, and the play forced them to settle for a field goal. He also had an even bigger pass deflection late in the fourth quarter, which forced the Eagles to turn it over on downs.

The Giants scored the field goal which gave them a 10-point lead when they took over.

The secondary did not play its best game. A struggling Carson Wentz still threw for over 200 yards and exposed the Giants soft coverage. But Bradberry was constantly in good position to make it difficult, and his two pass deflections erased the mistakes of his teammates.
