Giants’ DC Wink Martindale: ‘We have our work cut out for us’ defending Washington

The New York Giants are prepping for what could well be the biggest game of their season this week. While the playoffs are still a month away, the Giants’ game against the Washington Commanders certainly has a “playoff” feel to it.

The Giants and Commanders share a 7-5-1 record coming into Week 15 and played each other to a stalemate just two weeks ago.

The Giants also have to put the memory of a bad loss to the Philadelphia Eagles behind them, while Washington will play the Giants in consecutive games. The quick turnaround between divisional opponents has the potential to make this feel like an extension of the last game — that the first quarter of Week 15 is more like the sixth quarter of Week 13.
