Giants’ keys to victory: Getting production out of rookie RB Saquon Barkley will be a big factor. New York has the passing weapons with QB Eli Manning throwing to WR Odell Beckham Jr. and TE Evan Engram, but the rushing attack opens it all up. It also gives the Giants the right tempo, which adds to the pressure on the struggling Houston offense to keep pace. DT Damon Harrison will need to make his presence felt against a running game that has averaged 4.9 and 5.7 yards per carry in the first two games.
