Giants dramatically increase blitz rate amid pass-rush injuries
New York blitzed on 51.3% and 62.2% of defensive snaps in its last two games, up from 22.1% earlier in the season, generating seven sacks and 14 quarterback hits. Dru Phillips has been a major beneficiary, but the Giants must determine whether the aggressive approach can remain effective against the Saints and Tyler Shough.
