Dolphins (0-6) at Giants (4-2), 1 p.m. Eastern, CBS
Matchup to Watch: Giants CB Corey Webster vs. Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall
Marshall has made plenty of headlines this season for things he has said (predicting he would be ejected for fighting against the Jets; guaranteeing a victory against the Giants). But he is an undeniable talent, and Webster will be chasing him. Two weeks ago, the Giants’ secondary gave up early big plays to the Buffalo Bills but excelled late in a dramatic victory. Can Webster lead a more complete effort against Marshall and the winless Dolphins?
Number to Watch: 4
That is how many defensive ends the Giants may use on certain plays now that Justin Tuck is healthy again. While Jason Pierre-Paul has played more snaps than the Giants would like and he could use some rest, an all-star lineup of Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, Pierre-Paul and Mathias Kiwanuka could be too appetizing for the defensive coordinator Perry Fewell to resist.
Quotation of the Week
“Of course, he’s the head coach and he’s going to take a lot of heat. But trust me, it’s not him. Not just him. It’s all of us.”
