Seahawks-Giants prediction, keys and is Shaquill Griffin up for the challenge?
New York TimesShaquill Griffin scrunched his face when asked about the fact he’s no longer the Seahawks’ leader in interceptions this season. Free safety Quandre Diggs recorded his third pick of the season in Seattle’s 23-17 win over Philadelphia on Monday night, jumping ahead of Griffin, Seattle’s No. The in-air contact ignited the Eagles’ sideline, but as ESPN color commentator Brian Griese pointed out, “There’s no separation — where do you want the quarterback to throw that ball?” Later matched up against Reagor again in the slot, a rare occurrence for Griffin, he locked up a fade in the end zone, again prompting Griese to say, “There’s just no separation.” “You see what type of impact Shaq makes on the field,” defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said Thursday. That’s why the next five games — and the playoffs — are so critical for Griffin and the future of Seattle’s cornerback position. Seattle’s defense as constructed — especially with defensive Carlos Dunlap and Flowers missing the last two days of practice — isn’t anything like New England’s was in 2019, but McCoy, 34, has never really been much of a competent passer in his career, throwing nearly as many interceptions as touchdowns while averaging just 6.5 yards per attempt with a career passer rating of 78.2.
