New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers: What to Expect in the NFL Matchup in Munich, Germany
A Battle of Two Struggling Teams
In a battle of 2-7 teams, the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers will travel overseas to face each other at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Both teams are at the bottom of the NFL’s standings, with the Giants in the midst of a four-game losing streak, and the Panthers seeking their first two-game win streak since 2021.
Giants Looking to End Losing Streak
The Giants are looking to get back in the win column, and with a game against one of the worst teams in football record-wise, this might be their best chance. They will rely heavily on their running game, as the Panthers have allowed 1,434 rushing yards this season, far and away the most in the league.
Tyrone Tracy: The Key to the Giants’ Success
The young running back has surged into the starting role in the Giants backfield, and has seen 16 or more carries in four of the last five games. Since taking over as the Giants’ main running back five games ago, he has rushed for 413 yards and two touchdowns, averaging a tad over five yards per carry.
Panthers’ Weak Pass Defense
The Panthers do not have a great pass defense, ranking eighth worst in the NFL. They have allowed 2,149 yards through the air and have allowed 18 passing touchdowns, tied for the second most in the league. This presents an opportunity for Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to put up big numbers and lead his team to victory.
Giants’ Quarterback Daniel Jones
Giants head coach Brian Daboll praised Jones’ performance last week, saying, "Yeah, I thought he did a nice job. The week before, I thought he did a lot of good things. Again, when you lose, it doesn’t feel like any of that. But he made a lot of good plays for us." Now is the time for Jones to shine and lead his team to a much-needed win.
Giants’ Pass Rush
The Giants’ pass rush has been a key factor in their success, with 35 sacks, far and away the most in the league. If they are able to disrupt former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young, they should win this game. Young has thrown for 694 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions across four games and has been sacked 10 times.
Conclusion
This game presents a chance for one of these struggling teams to get back in the win column. The Giants have a favorable matchup against a weak pass defense, and their running game should be able to exploit the Panthers’ porous rushing defense. If the Giants can limit unforced errors and get to Young, they should come out on top.
