New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins: 5 Realistic Predictions
Janoris Jenkins Logs First Interception
Through two games, Cousins has thrown three interceptions. He’s consistently pushing the ball downfield but shows inefficiencies in critical moments and around the red zone. The Redskins’ signal-caller also leads the league in pass attempts (89) along with Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles.
With enough passes through the air and the propensity to turn the ball over, expect cornerback Janoris Jenkins to gamble on a few throws within reach. During his time playing for the then-St. Louis Rams, his biggest critics pinpointed his tendency to chase the interception as opposed to simply batting down passes.
On Sunday, Jenkins’ aggressive style in the secondary could pay off on an inaccurate pass downfield. Thus far, the Giants $62.5 million cornerback has kept his play under control. He’s maintained focus on covering his assignment and ensured nothing goes over his head or behind him in coverage. However, Sunday may require an extra turnover, or two, to allow the offense more scoring opportunities.
