CLBinMD Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 From NFL.com, how each team ranks w/in the league some key statistics: Team Offense NYG - 8th WAS - 12th Rushing Offense NYG - 6th WAS - 7th Statistically, dead even! 4.6 vs. 4.2 on yards per attempt 135.6 vs 134 yards per game Passing Offense NYG - 11th WAS - 19th Total Defense WAS - 7th NYG - 22nd Rushing Defense NYG - 11th WAS - 12th Statistically, dead even!! 4.0 vs 4.1 on yards per attempt & 105.4 vs 106.5 on yards per game Passing Defense WAS - 9th NYG - 25th TO Ratio NYG - 5th WAS - 20th* * Up from dead last at one point in the season!! Seems to support a lot of the "conventional wisdom" and "strategizing" that has gone on here this week, especially the conclusion that it will be a close game. Both teams are used to rushing for significantly more yards than either team's defense is used to allowing. Big plays kept the Giants pass defense from being even worse statistically. They rank above average in sacks & interceptions. If 'Skins win - or just push - in the turn over battle, you have to like their chances.
