Number 2: 515 yards of total offense allowed

This is just unacceptable.

For a defense that was once top 15 in nearly every metric, the Giants defense this year has looked like a shell of its former self.

It just seemed so easy for the Cowboys at times, whether it be poor coverage, poor tackling, or poor play calling, the Giants defense was getting torched all game.

I understand that the Cowboys have an elite offense, but the Giants defense has looked poor all year.

James Bradberry has not looked nearly as good as he did in the past and that was highlighted this game. Surrendering a TD to Ceedee Lamb after getting burnt, and allowing multiple completions to his matchups.

While Lorenzo Carter had a huge interception to start the game, he very quickly fizzled out. Finishing the game with only 2 combined tackles.

While the pass rush finally had their first all around good game, tallying 5 QB hits and 2 sacks. The rest of the defense played very poor.
