P Riley Dixon – Stud

Dixon has been among the Giants’ most consistently dominant players the past three years, and Sunday was no different for the Giants’ punter.

In the second quarter, Dixon drilled a 71-yard punt that buried the Eagles back on their own six-yard line. Later, Dixon pinned the Eagles at the 11-yard line with a 38-yard punt. He buried the Eagles inside the 10-yard line twice.

If the Giants are going to play meaningful football down the stretch and legitimately push for the playoffs, special teams will need to continue to play a vital role. As Dixon showed Sunday, and frankly as he’s been doing since his arrival prior to the 2018 season, he’s more than capable of tilting the field position in the Giants’ favor.
