3. Azeez Ojulari and Kayvon Thibodeaux will give Taylor Heinicke nightmares

Since returning from injury, Azeez Ojulari has looked nothing but spectacular, racking up three sacks, two forced fumbles, and 10 total pressures in just two games. Ojulari has been the playmaker the Giants have desperately needed on defense all season.

The Giants previous matchup against the Commanders is where Ojulari made his return and it looked like he barely missed a step, racking up a sack, a forced fumble, and seven total pressures. As for Kayvon Thibodeaux, he has been borderline unstoppable in recent weeks, posting one sack, 13 total pressures, and three stops in his last three games. Thibodeaux has put on display a variety of pass-rush moves that we have not really seen before.

These two edge-rushers have been absolutely deadly in recent weeks, and considering their young age, both Ojulari and Thibodeaux are going to be destroying opposing offenses for a very long time.

As for this week’s matchup against the Commanders, we expect more of what we saw in the previous Week 13 game where these two were incredibly dominant against a very solid Commanders offensive line.
