Seahawks vs Giants preview: Week 8’s lone battle of winning teams
The Giants are one of the weirder NFL teams in a gloriously weird year. Daniel Jones is 5th in the league in unexpected categories like total QBR and even EPA . Saquon Barkley has been the hero, alongside a stout defense and some fortuitous bounces.This is the only game in Week 8 in which both teams have a winning record. That means nothing as far as matchups or who holds the edge, it’s simply ridiculous.

Seattle has to be able to continue this, and the re-arrival of Shelby Harris looked like it was a huge benefit against theAn absolutely unexpected component of Smith’s ‘22 emergence has been his wild success with audibles.
