Seahawks (1-3) at Giants (3-1), 1 p.m. Eastern, Fox
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Seattle run defense
The Giants have talked for weeks about wanting to re-establish their running game, and Coach Tom Coughlin stressed the point again last week. Bradshaw is supposed to be the featured back. With Brandon Jacobs doubtful to play because of a knee injury, Sunday could be Bradshaw’s opportunity to break out. Of course, it will not be easy; one of the few things the Seahawks do well is limit the run. They have allowed just 3.2 yards per carry this season, fourth best in the N.F.L.
NUMBER TO WATCH: 90
That’s how many consecutive passes Eli Manning has thrown without an interception, no small feat when you consider he threw 25 interceptions last season. So far this year, Manning has taken care of the ball. He has completed 64 percent of his passes and has gone without an interception since the first drive of Week 2.
QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“We are trying to push that game as far away from us as possible.”’
Seattle Coach PETE CARROLL, when asked if he showed his team much film of the Giants’ 41-7 victory in last season’s meeting between the teams.
