Dan and Nick dive deep into the All-22 coaches film to break down how the Giants offense attacked the Eagles. What they found success with and what bogged them down at times.

Dan and Nick dive deep into the All-22 film of a Giants game where the defense got off the field early and often on third downs, shut down a Rams run game that had easily eclipsed 100 yards with breakout RB Darrell Henderson in consecutive games (Rams had just 2.3 yards per carry vs. Giants) and more. How did Patrick Graham do it? A great game plan, mixing in pattern much coverage, adjustments in scheme and personnel, and more. Individual breakdowns include: Blake Martinez, Kyler Fackrell, Austin Johnson, Tae Crowder and more. That and everything else the All-22 told us about the defensive side of the ball.

That and more on the All-22 breakdown of the offense.
