The New York Giants got another big win Sunday against the Detroit Lions and the defense was, again, the story. A week after shutting down the Dallas Cowboys, they were dominant once more as they kept the Lions out of the end zone en route to a 17-6 victory.
Since losing Jason Pierre-Paul for the remainder of the season, the Giants have allowed just 13 points in two games and haven’t surrendered a touchdown in seven quarters. Their last two opponents were a combined 20-5 entering play. For context, the 1-13 San Francisco 49ers average two touchdowns per game.
