The on-a-roll Robert Thomas Color Rush Jersey , fun-loving, high-scoring, turnover-inducing New York Giants are back at MetLife Stadium on Sunday to face the Tennessee Titans.By the way, yes I wrote those things about the 5-8 Giants just because I could. When is the last time those things could be said about the Giants? I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.Will the good times continue on Sunday for the Giants? The Giants are 2.5-point favorites. They will be facing a Tennessee team that is 7-6, is in the hunt for an AFC wild-card playoff berth has won its last two games against the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars.The Giants will also be facing a starting quarterback Marcus Mariota of the Titans. All of their recent victories have come against teams starting backup quarterbacks. Mariota is a starter, but not an elite one. Mark Schofield ranked him in the fourth of five tiers in the last version of his quarterback rankings. The Titans are 27th in the league in points scored and 28th in yards gained.Saquon Barkley will be looking for his fifth straight 100-yard rushing game. Eli Manning will be looking to extend a run of quality play that has seen him go 95-of-143 (65.7 percent) with 10 touchdown passes and just two interceptions in the last five weeks. Manning’s current 67.7 completion percentage and 95.8 passer rating are career highs.The Giants remain an offense that is more explosive than efficient.We’re talking playoffs?Yes. Yes, we are. Here’s how the Giants can get there.Numbers to knowLess than 1 — The percentage chance FiveThirtyEight gives the 5-8 Giants of reaching the playoffs.9 — The Giants (12 takeaways, 3 giveaways) are +9 in the turnover ratio over the past five weeks.96.6 — Aldrick Rosas is 29-of-30 in field-goal attempts this season, and his 96.6 percent accuracy is the best in the NFL.31.4 — The Giants’ average of 31.4 points over their last five games is third in the NFL behind the Kansas City Chiefs (39.3) and Los Angeles Chargers (31.5).12 — Saquon Barkley has 12 games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (13 games in 1983) has more such games as a rookie.5 — With his 78-yard touchdown run Sunday vs. the Washington Redskins, Barkley now has five scrimmage touchdowns of at least 50 yards this season. That is the most by a rookie in a single season since Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss (five touchdowns in 1998). Only Billy Howton of the 1952 Green Bay Packers had more such touchdowns in a single season as a rookie (six).4,800 — Eli Manning needs needs 66 completions (4,734) to reach 4,800 career completions. Manning would become one of six quarterbacks (Drew Brees - 6,536, Brett Favre - 6,300, Peyton Manning - 6,125, Tom Brady - 5,942 & Dan Marino - 4 Cody Latimer Color Rush Jersey ,967) with 4,800 career completions. 350 — Manning needs 40 completions (310) to reach 350 completions for the fifth consecutive year and 6th time in his career. 400 — Odell Beckham Jr. needs 10 receptions (390) over the next three games (59) to become the fastest player in NFL history with 400 receptions (Jarvis Landry & Julio Jones - 64 games). A little Friday afternoon bonus, New York Giants fans! Here are five notes from Friday’s media availability with Giants coaches.Pat ShurmurOn the development of the offensive line ...“As you see the way this has played out since the bye, four of our starting linemen didn’t have a Giants helmet last year, so there’s been a lot of changeover. I think that’s important to remember. There’s a lot of new moving forward, running parallel with trying to block a lot of really good fronts. With regard to the left side, that’s been constant, and certainly Nate’s an outstanding player. They work together, so then Nate’s been bringing along a true rookie in Will, who has improved each week. The combination of those two guys, they’re getting better and better and better, and I think Nate behind the scenes has sort of mentored that whole group because there’s a lot of new and a lot that goes into it.”On the increased playing time for fullback Elijhaa Penny ...“Roster permitting, I’m fond of having a fullback. I think they’re very valuable guys, and from the second half of the year here, we’ve utilized 21 personnel more. He’s got a good skillset, he’s a converted halfback so he can run the ball, he can catch the ball, and he’s swelled up since his halfback days, so he’s a better blocker now. Again, he was new Evan Engram Color Rush Jersey , he didn’t start, so he had a long way to go to catch up and know what we were doing and he’s done a good job doing that.”Wide receivers coach Tyke TolbertOn the progress of Corey Coleman ...“Corey, he has to keep plugging along. Corey, with him, he’s probably been in three or four offenses this year alone – from Cleveland, to Buffalo, to New England, to here. Some of the plays that we have, there’s some crossover and it’s the same concept, but it’s called totally different things, and some things they’re called totally the same, but they’re different concepts. So, sometimes he confuses those, but Corey is doing well. We’re going to have to put more into the offense, and I think we’re going to see that going forward. Corey is going to play more, and more, and more, because he does have a lot of ability that you want to see on the field. He has really good hands. He has really good speed. He’s good with the ball in his hands, he’s tough. “This offense requires you to play different positions all the time. When you move him around as much as we move him around, and those concepts like I mentioned with him and other places Patrick Omameh Color Rush Jersey , it gets intertwined sometimes and can be confusing a little bit. As far as the other guys, they’ve been here the whole time, so they kind of know what to do in all those instances. He’s continued to get better in that regard, and the more he gets better with that and the more comfortable he is with that, the more we’ll play him.”RB coach Craig JohnsonOn Saquon Barkley leaping over defenders ...“It always makes coaches (nervous), I think most of the running back coaches in general will say try to keep your feet more on the ground, but you’re not going to take away his ability. That’s something he saw, he went for it, and you always worry is he going to land properly, but that’s just part of his game.”On being disappointed Jonathan Stewart will remain on IR ...“Yes, because I think Jonathan Stewart is a great role model. He’s been kind of where Saquon’s attempting to go, and anytime you have a guy like that, you’d like to be able to see him show what he can do. It’s just a matter of early in the year, he’s nicked up a little bit, and then late in the year, because of our roster we’ve got a lot of injuries and I don’t deal with it that much but yes, he’s been great. I can’t tell you how much he has helped our room and it’s always nice for a younger player to have a veteran guy who’s been through it in the room.”
