NFL: Giants-Seahawks Game Preview
NFC East's Giants Travel to Face NFC West's Seahawks
Giants Look to Extend Win Streak
The New York Giants (3-1) will travel to Lumen Field to face the Seattle Seahawks (2-2) in a Week 5 NFC matchup. The Giants are coming off a 24-16 victory over the Chicago Bears, while the Seahawks are coming off a 27-23 loss to the Detroit Lions.
The Giants will look to extend their win streak to three games and improve to 4-1 on the season. They will be led by quarterback Daniel Jones, who has thrown for 782 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions this season. Running back Saquon Barkley has also been a key contributor for the Giants, rushing for 463 yards and two touchdowns.
Seahawks Aim to Bounce Back from Loss
The Seahawks will look to bounce back from their loss to the Lions and improve to 3-2 on the season. They will be led by quarterback Geno Smith, who has thrown for 951 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions this season. Running back Kenneth Walker III has also been a key contributor for the Seahawks, rushing for 374 yards and two touchdowns.
The Seahawks will be without wide receiver DK Metcalf, who is out with a knee injury. However, they will get wide receiver Tyler Lockett back from a hamstring injury.
Matchup to Watch: Giants' Pass Rush vs. Seahawks' Offensive Line
One of the key matchups to watch in this game will be the Giants' pass rush against the Seahawks' offensive line. The Giants have one of the best pass rushes in the NFL, led by defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux. The Seahawks' offensive line has been struggling this season, allowing 13 sacks in four games.
If the Giants can get pressure on Smith, they will be able to force him into mistakes and make it difficult for the Seahawks to move the ball. However, if the Seahawks' offensive line can protect Smith, they will be able to give him time to find his receivers and move the ball down the field.
Prediction
The Giants are a slight favorite in this game, but the Seahawks are a tough team to beat at home. I predict the Giants will win a close game, 27-24.
