The Giants are 3-1 because the defense keeps closing games when the offense leaves the door open. Playing without Jaxson Dart and Brian Burns, New York still erased Arizona's 14-3 start and finished the game with Deonte Banks' 98-yard interception return. Jameis Winston does not need to play hero ball if Cam Skattebo and the defense can keep creating these late-game answers, but the margin will stay thin until Dart returns.
New York's rating improved after a 36-24 Week 4 win, led by gains in Recent Performance and Defense Strength.
The Giants are surviving through defense, Cam Skattebo and a willingness to play through ugly quarterback stretches while Jaxson Dart is out. New York erased a 14-3 deficit against Arizona and finished the game with Deonte Banks' 98-yard interception return. Jameis Winston can keep the offense aggressive, but the current identity works only when the defense keeps giving him short fields and extra chances.
The Giants have to replace Dart's movement without asking Winston to imitate it. Protection, quick-game timing and Nabers' ability to win early in the down become more important while the offense operates without its designed quarterback-run threat.
Pick the winner.
New York sits near the middle of the league at No. 12 in remaining road strength, with opponents averaging 80.1. Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks create the toughest stretch, but 4 games against current top-10 teams keep the schedule from belonging at either extreme.
Toughest remaining opponent: 
Seattle Seahawks at 89.2 PFM.
New York Giants sits 4th in the division, 7.9 PFM points from Philadelphia.
See the current New York Giants depth chart across offense, defense and special teams.
The Giants still have the lowest-end quarterback outlook among their major roster questions, and the position remains unsettled enough to keep it at the top of the draft list. New York needs a passer who can stabilize the offense around Malik Nabers.
New York's guard depth is thin, with only three guards listed in the live roster context. Adding an interior blocker would improve protection and give the offense more answers when injuries hit.
The Giants have bodies at defensive tackle, but the group behind the top options lacks a clear long-term difference-maker. Another interior defender would help the front control early downs and create cleaner rush lanes.
