The New York Giants had high expectations entering the 2023 season with hopes of building on the success in their first year under Brian Daboll.
Instead, this season went south in a hurry. Despite injuries across the roster, the most glaring issue has been a subpar offensive line that’s allowing a historic number of sacks.
Though 14 games, the Giants have given up a franchise-record 76 sacks. New York quarterbacks have been sacked at least seven times in six games this season. They are the third-most sacked team in NFL history, two sacks shy of the second-most.
With three games remaining, it’s hard to imagine the Giants give up an additional 28 sacks to tie the record set by the 1986 Philadelphia Eagles (104).
They do have two games left against the Eagles, who have an elite pass rush and may want to shed their franchise from that embarrassing record.
While the Giants have invested heavy draft capital in the offensive line between Evan Neal (first round) and John Michael Schmitz (second round) over the last two years, clearly they still have work to do.
