What happened: Deonte Banks has recorded at least one pass breakup in every appearance this season alongside 20 total tackles, per Jordan Schultz. His 2026 campaign also includes a 98-yard game-sealing interception return for a touchdown against Arizona.

Why it matters: Selected 24th overall out of Maryland in the 2023 NFL Draft, Banks is delivering on his first-round pedigree after entering spring camp eyeing a rebound from a 2025 season in which he totaled 31 tackles across 16 games. His perimeter coverage has helped push New York to a 4-2-1 overall record and the NFC's No. 3 seed following Sunday's 27-21 road victory at the Houston Texans.

By the numbers: Arizona), 3-1-1 team record in games played. 2025 season: 31 tackles in 16 games. New York Giants overall record: 4-2-1 (No. 3 seed, W1 streak).

What to watch: Banks carries his streak of at least one pass breakup in every appearance forward as the 4-2-1 Giants look to build on Sunday's road win.
