Ar’Darius Washington flashing again.
Great tackle Ar'Darius Washington. #Giants caught a break with a blown coverage on 1st down but mostly flying around, creating havoc, not missing tackles

The Saints get to Winston twice on blitzes, forcing another Giants’ punt. The Giants are struggling to get Nabers and Likely open against the Saints’ man coverage.
The Giants go against tendencies and run play-action out of heavy personnel. Malik Nabers with a nice gain on first down.
Giants coming out in heavy personnel: Skattebo, Ricard, Manhertz. Would expect them to try to get the run going here.

Washington comes in with a big run stop on second down, then Jevon Holland nearly picks off Shough on 3rd down and the Saints punt… and again after a delay of game.
Ar'Darius Washington in for the third series in place of Jason Pinnock as part of the planned safety rotation.
