And another with a tipped pass to force a turnover on downs. And another stifling one of the NFL’s best young pass rushers. And another with a victory-sealing strip sack. And another … well, you should get the point that a young homegrown player was making an impact at seemingly every turn in the Giants’ 27-22 win against the Packers. Of all the things that the…
