Folks, the New York Football Giants are getting better. The win against Seattle this weekend is probably proof enough. However, a closer look shows a defense that is athletic and aggressive.

Peppers walks to the line of scrimmage pre-snap and the fireworks are about to begin. The Seahawks have a play action pass called and that is never good news when pressure is coming.
