Coming off top game, Giants’ defense faces bigger challenge

Associated Press  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After waiting seven weeks for his defense to play an outstanding game, New York Giants coordinator Pat Graham told his unit the same thing he does at the start of every week. The guys on the other side of the ball will be the struggling Kansas City Chiefs While Andy Reid’s team has lost twice as many regular-season games as it did last season, the cast is as scary as ever on offense with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Tyreek Hill. “I can’t even begin to go down the list of all the different weapons they have,” Graham said Thursday. They still have legit all Pro Bowlers all over their offensive side of the ball, so defensively, we’ve got our work cut out for us.” What would help the defense is if the front seven can step up for a second straight week. He does a good job of just being able to look different things off and be able to make plays for his team.” NOTES: RB Saquon Barkley, WRs Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, LB Lorenzo Carter and special teams star Nate Ebner did not practice for New York on Thursday.
