The Giants coaching staff knows that Evan Engram will be better after a rough opening performance against the Steelers Monday night. Engram, himself, knows he has to be. The fourth-year tight end was underwhelming in the Giants' 26-16 loss to Pittsburgh at MetLife Stadium, catching only two passes for 9 yards, despite being targeted seven times.
Mix those pedestrian numbers with a dropped pass early in the game and generally poor run blocking, and Engram found himself looking for answers in the days before a Week 2 matchup at Chicago on Sunday.
