One of the main story lines surrounding the New York Giants training camp was the possibility of Nick Gates starting center for the 2020 Giants. That possibility became a reality on Monday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it couldn’t have been a worse matchup for Gates. The Steelers are one of the most stout run defenses in the league. They’re incredibly strong at the point of attack and have only surrendered 5 touchdowns on the ground in the last 17 games.
Last season against Miami, we witnessed Gates starting at right guard for an injured Kevin Zeitler.
