Both teams enter this game riding an awful losing streak. The Giants have lost seven games in a row, while the Titans have dropped their last six. New York took a 21-0 lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars in its last outing, but gave that one away in an eventual 25-24 defeat.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw for 247 yards and a score without an interception, but the Giants fumbled the ball away three times, including a late fumble by Manning on a sack by Jaguars defensive end Chris Clemons. Jacksonville returned two of those fumbles for scores.
The second half of games has been a problem for the Giants. They have scored only 13 points in the second half of their last four games, and were outscored 22-3 in the second half of their game against the Jaguars.

The Titans’ defense has been abysmal of late. Tennessee has surrendered 40 or more points in each of its last two games, and now fewer than 20 points in their last five. The team was beaten by the Houston Texans in their last game, a 45-21 beat down in which Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 358 yards and six touchdowns.
The Titans’ defense ranks 30th in the league in total yards allowed, last in rushing yards allowed, and last in points allowed. Now the team’s offense has taken a hit, with quarterback Zach Mettenberger suffering a Grade 1 AC sprain in his shoulder, and top wideout Kendall Wright hurting his hand at practice. A team that is already short on talent can ill afford to take on injuries to such important players.
