Bruce Johnson Plays Extensively

Jonathan Goff replaced Chase Blackburn at middle linebacker, and CB Bruce Johnson got his most extensive work of the season. The changes appeared to send a clear message: It's about the team. The Giants almost seemed to admit after the game that they had gotten a little caught up in preseason hype and individual attention, and this series of moves undercut all that. Desperation, maybe, but reminding this defense that it's getting late in the season turned out to be the right move.

Johnson finished with 7 tackles, 5 solo tackles.
