The New York Giants (2-4) will face the Denver Broncos (4-2) at Empower Field at Mile High this Sunday in Denver, Colorado, at 4:05 p.m. EDT.

The Giants defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6, bringing their record behind Jaxson Dart to 2-1. Dart and Cam Skattebo have rejuvenated the team this season, and they look to build on the momentum they’ve created so far.

The Broncos have won three straight games to reach 4-2. They’ve been vocal this week about how they feel about this game, and that could very well be their undoing.

Let’s take a look at six keys to the Giants getting a victory over the Broncos in Week 7.

Neutralize Denver’s pass rush

The Broncos lead the league with 30 sacks through six weeks. The next closest team is the Pittsburgh Steelers with 22 sacks. Denver has the league’s best pass rush, and they are based largely on disguise, blitzing at roughly a 30% rate. Given their pressure rate, that’s not a huge number. Teams struggle to decode what Vance Joseph has laid out on the field. As a rookie, Dart is in for more looks than he’s seen in any previous game. He has to trust his eyes and his gut. The offensive line must be ready; they’ll be without John Michael Schmitz, who is out with a concussion. The offensive line must trust each other, know their assignments, and execute plays accurately.

That doesn’t mean commit penalties, as the Giants are prone to do this season. It means make Denver commit penalties. Both teams are penalized at a high rate, but the Giants can use this to their advantage. Jaxson Dart is excellent at the hard count, and even though the Giants are on the road, they can use it to their advantage. But they can do more than use Dart’s hard count; Mike Kafka needs to use designed routes and throws to elicit defensive pass interference calls, defensive holding, and tackling mistakes.

After all the trash-talk this week, the Giants should be able to bait the Broncos into defensive penalties with some jawing on the field.

Establish the run

The Broncos have the seventh-ranked run defense in the NFL. Establishing the run keeps the pass rush away from Dart. It also allows them to control the clock and establish the play-action game, which could open things up downfield for sporadic deep throws. This could be especially true in the second half, after Cam Skattebo has worn down the defense, forcing Denver into making business decisions in the fourth quarter.

Don’t let emotions overflow

The Broncos have spent the week disrespecting and trash-talking the Giants. The Giants want to use some of that as added motivation, but they cannot let it become all-consuming. They have to stick to the game plan, stick to their assignments, and be aggressive without getting penalized. Win on the field, don’t spend the game fighting over words. They must use their actions to prove the Broncos wrong.

Repeat the defensive game plan

Last week, the Giants’ main focus was shutting down Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles’ run game. They wanted to force Jalen Hurts to beat them, and they executed that game plan to near perfection. Hurts couldn’t beat them, and the Giants won by three scores. They need to repeat this same game plan against the Broncos in Week 7. Bottle up the run and force Bo Nix to beat the defense while generating pressure with just four men up front. The Broncos’ left guard is their weakest spot on the offensive line, so the Giants need to attack that area to get through the line. Maintaining coverage discipline in the secondary is crucial to making this plan work, so the safeties and corners have to play their part, too.

Win on first down

It doesn’t matter which side of the ball we’re talking about; it applies to both the offense and the defense. The Giants need to put themselves into positive, short-yardage third-down situations on offense. The closer the line to gain is, the easier it is to get the first down. Doing this sets the offense up for success, rather than having to deal with obvious passing plays.

The Broncos’ offense has struggled on third down this season, so the defense needs to win this battle early and force them into the same third-and-long situations the Giants are trying to avoid.
