UH-OH ON O-LINE: Giants left guard Justin Pugh will miss a second consecutive game, and the team is also expected to be without center Weston Richburg, leaving very little in the way of experienced depth on an offensive line that has failed to pave the way for a 100-yard running game this season.

The Giants and Redskins meet for the 166th time on Sunday at Fed Ex Field.
“It’s a lot of fun”, Coughlin said, “compared to where we’ve been the last couple of years”.
“We have a six-game stretch where we have everything that we want to accomplish still available to us – something that hasn’t happened around here for some time”.
The latter took the field last Sunday at Carolina. A win for the Giants would result in a two-game lead, plus the head-to-head tiebreaker, with just five games to play.
They will play out the string and it seems fairly obvious that Kelly will be back in college football next year. “Again, not having any kind of split-focus, but focusing on the most important thing, which is the next snap, the next play”. “This? I don’t know”.
Washington’s Kirk Cousins has won all four starts at home this season, a credit primarily to better blocking and steady contributions from a running game that has been hot and cold.
If Beckham finishes this season the way he did in 2014, he’d end up with 123 receptions and 1,705 yards – Steelers star Antonio Brown led the league previous year with 129 catches and 1,698 yards.
“We got blown out the water”.
The Vikings were thoroughly manhandled last week by Green Bay in a statement game in the NFC North but the latter’s defeat on Thanksgiving to Chicago has Mike Zimmer’s team back on top in the division. If I had any doubt that I might injure myself more, or if the doctors did, I wouldn’t be out there. “I think the rhythm with which he goes about his business, particularly in the play-action pass game, is outstanding”.
On the defensive side of the ball, Washington is one of two teams that has yet to allow a 300-yard passer this season. When you’re a young player, you have to make your mistakes in practice, fix them later in the week in practice, and then go out and execute in a game. What they do doesn’t effect how I feel about how this team has to perform. In last week’s loss at Carolina, Redskins finished with total of 14 yards on 11 carries, second-lowest yards rushing in single game in franchise history….
Cornerback Darrelle Revis will not play in the New York Jets’ game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday because he is still dealing with a concussion. They are able to put up points and have a few deep threats. “Whether it’s scheme or whether it’s personnel, it’s our job to figure out what those problems are”, Gruden said. “I think that just brings another type of energy to see what it tastes like so I think everyone’s up for the challenge”.
The New York Giants are 5-5 on the season and they find themselves a 2.5 point favorite this week to beat the Washington Redskins on the road in Landover.
