Andrew Thomas’ Revived Giants O-Line Faces BroncosNFL-Leading Pass Rush

Denver’s nine-sack surge sets a steep bar for an offense Thomas has stabilized with error-free protection.

Overview

  • Since returning in Week 3, Thomas has allowed zero sacks or QB hits and just two pressures on 130 pass-blocking snaps, with an 83.0 PFF grade ranking fourth among 112 tackles.
  • The Broncos lead the NFL with 30 sacks through six games and a 13.7% sack rate, a pace that projects to 85 sacks and does not rely on excessive blitzing.
  • Edge rusher Nik Bonitto tops the league with eight sacks and will frequently align over Thomas, combining speed and power that Thomas says demands readiness for both.
  • New York’s line set the tone in a 34-17 win over the Eagles, paving for 172 rushing yards as rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo powered the offense.
  • Skattebo earned a FedEx Air & Ground weekly nomination after 98 rushing yards and three touchdowns, with fan voting open through Wednesday.
