Can the Dolphins take advantage of the Giants' patchwork offensive line?
Giants QB Daniel Jones was absolutely harassed last week by the Seahawks' defense, getting sacked 10 times. The Giants will be without starters OT Andrew Thomas and C John Michael Schmitz, with reserve center Shane Lemieux also out for the game. As such, the Giants will be scrambling to get a serviceable group this week.
The Dolphins' front should have an opportunity to feast this week.
3 Players to Watch
Whoever starts at center. If Connor Williams is able to go (and healthy enough to perform at a high level), then he will have his hands full with the Giants' talented DT Leonard Williams. If he can't go, well, then Liam Eichenberg will hope to do better than he did last week.
Bradley Chubb. The Giants' offensive line is a hot mess, as mentioned. As such, the opportunity is there for the Dolphins to get after Jones early and often. Chubb was excellent against New England but has been hit or miss for much of the rest of the season. It would be a great time for another strong performance.
Christian Wilkins. See above. Wilkins should have the chance to pound upon the Giants' backup interior line. Being able to shut down the running game and force the Giants into third and long is a recipe for disaster for the Giants.
