GMEN HQ: What are some of the key matchups in this game?

Ebony Bird:

The Giants have to stop the run to have any chance of beating the Ravens.

The Giants front seven doesn’t just have to beat the offensive line but they have to keep up with Lamar Jackson and the running backs. Reading keys and tackling in the open field are essentially the two most important things for the New York Giants.

The Ravens are also a bit shorthanded in the secondary. Should the Ravens have a healthy Marcus Peters, it’s not too bad. Though attacking the Ravens with slot receivers is a great idea. Look for Darius Slayton and Evan Engram to have the best pass-catching days for the Giants.
