New York Giants – Buffalo Bills Matchups to Watch

In an attempt to snap a four-game losing streak, the New York Giants will take on the Buffalo Bills in their sixth game of the 2023 campaign.

Numerous skilled players from the two rival teams are pitted against one another, providing for an entertaining battle. However, these two specific matches are among the most important ones that could affect the result on Sunday night.

When the ball is with the Giants
With a number of key players already declared out, like as left tackle Andrew Thomas and quarterback Daniel Jones, the Giants offence is greatly disadvantaged heading into Sunday night’s game. It is also anticipated that running back Saquon Barkley, who has been recovering from an ankle injury for the last three weeks, would watch the game from the sidelines once more.

Barkley will be replaced by Matt Breida, while Jones will be replaced by Tyrod Taylor. Breida will probably be the Giants’ main man because he has spent more time on the pitch this season (three starts).

In the five games that he has played this season, Breida has carried the ball thirty times for 82 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old must to improve his 2.7 yards per rush if New York is to have any chance of surprising Buffalo. His current stats are definitely concerning. The Giants’ offensive line is in a terrible situation, and the Bills front seven is ready to exploit it, to further aggravate the damage (literally).

Von Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowl edge rusher, will go up against the Giants. After spending the first four weeks on the injured reserve, the future Hall of Famer was limited in Sunday’s game in London as he recovered from a 2022 ACL tear. He is anticipated to resume regularly tackling running backs behind the line of scrimmage now that he is off the injured report.

Breida is a valuable asset on the ground, and Taylor will probably throw to him a couple times for check-downs or quick gains. This season, the running back has demonstrated his value as a pass-catcher by catching all 10 of his targets for 49 yards.
