Giants Have the Best Secondary in the NFL

I am about to make a bold statement that I am sure a lot of people will not agree with. The New York Giants have the best secondary in the NFL. You may think I am crazy but I will explain my reasons below.

 

• The Giants are currently ranked 1st in the NFL in pass defense,  with an average of 124 yards a game allowed through the air. Their biggest test will come in week 6 in New Orleans against the Saints.
• They are winning and playing well without key contributors such as,  Aaron Ross, Kevin Dockery, and now Kenny Phillips. I know Phillips has only missed one game and it was against Tampa Bay. But you must also consider that the Giants have had only three corners active over the first three weeks because of injuries. Terrell Thomas has done a great job as a starter and undrafted rookie free agent Bruce Johnson has looked as solid as any other nickel corner.
• The Giants have only allowed 2 passing touchdowns which ranks them 4th in the NFL.
• The Giants have come up with 5 INT's which ranks them 5th in the NFL.
• Teams have averaged a 53.1% completion rate against the Giants which ranks them 2nd in the NFL.
• The Giants have done all of this while their defensive line has only accumulated only 3 sacks this season. They are ranked 25th currently in sacks amongst the NFL.
