Giants WRs vs. Steelers secondary

The Giants have a receiving trio consisting of veterans Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard along with second-year player Darius Slayton to throw at the Steelers. The Steelers secondary has become a surprising strength of the team over recent seasons and Minkah Fitzpatrick was the final piece to make the secondary formidable in 2019.

Steven Nelson, Joe Haden, and Mike Hilton form a very good trio of corners to go up against any receiving corps teams put on the field. Cameron Sutton also has shown to be a quality role player in the secondary.

Fitzpatrick provides the centerfield coverage they had been lacking. Terrell Edmunds will need to step up in his third season in pass coverage and show he can be the partner to Minkah past this season.
