3 reasons for concern in Week 8

The Giants faced off with some of the league’s better running backs earlier in the season and faired pretty well when they went up against Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey and Ezekiel Elliott.

However, they have been torched by the rushers they’ve faced over the last few weeks with Kenyon Drake in Week 6 and Travis Etienne in Week 7.

The Giants have given up the third-most rushing yards in the league despite the strong run stoppers of Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams. Williams did, of course, miss some time due to injury.

Hopefully they have a game plan to scheme against rookie Kenneth Walker, who has been surging with over 100 yards from scrimmage the last two weeks.
