Giants Bench CB Deonte Banks During Second Half of Monday's Game Against Steelers

Giants Make a Defensive Switch

New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks was benched during the second half of Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The move came after Banks struggled in coverage in the first half, allowing Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson to catch five passes for 105 yards and a touchdown.

Banks was replaced by veteran cornerback Julian Love, who played well in the second half. Love allowed just one catch for 12 yards and helped the Giants hold the Steelers to three points in the second half.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said after the game that he made the decision to bench Banks because he was not playing well. Daboll said he hopes that Banks can learn from his mistakes and improve his play.

Banks' Struggles Continue

Banks has struggled this season, allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete 70% of their passes against him. He has also been penalized four times, including twice for pass interference.

The Giants are hopeful that Banks can turn things around, but they may need to consider other options if he continues to struggle.

Giants Defense Needs to Improve

The Giants' defense has been one of the worst in the NFL this season, allowing an average of 29.2 points per game. The Giants have also allowed the most passing yards in the NFL, with opposing quarterbacks averaging 312.8 yards per game.

The Giants need to improve their defense if they want to be successful this season. Benching Banks is a step in the right direction, but the Giants will need to make more changes if they want to turn things around.
