This Monday Night Football matchup pits two of the top six passing offenses against each other in a prime-time showcase. The Cincinnati Bengals (3-4-1), led by quarterback Andy Dalton, take their fourth-ranked passing attack into MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants (5-3) and two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning. The Giants hope to counter the Bengals high-flying aerial attack with their own sixth-ranked air show.After Monday night, both offenses could be even higher in the offensive rankings. The Bengals defense is 25th in total defense and tied for 19th in scoring defense. Cincinnati gives up 262.4 yards a game through the air and has allowed 16 touchdowns. The Bengals are 0-3-1 when an opponent passes for 250 yards or more. Their opponents are averaging six yards per play.The Giants have the 23rd-ranked defense in the NFL. This unit gives up 371.2 yards a game. The Giants have the 25th-ranked pass defense in the NFL. New York is tied for a league-low 11 sacks generated. The Giants have not been able to consistently get pressure on the quarterback without blitzing.Though both teams have had success passing the football, the Giants have had struggles getting their rushing attack going this season. They rank last in the NFL, averaging only 68.2 yards a game. Some of those issues belong to the offensive lines inability to open holes. Others blame the loss of running back Shane Vereen to a triceps injury in the preseason. Giants head coach Ben McAdoo thinks they have a good young player in rookie running back Paul Perkins. So does Manning.Paul does some good things. Did a couple of nice jobs on the screen. Had a screen earlier too and I thought he rushed it a little bit and got tackled. On the next couple, he did a good job being patient, setting up the blockers, having a better feel. Hes good in the pass game and protections and running the ball well for us, said Manning when asked about the increased playing time for the runner from UCLA.If Perkins is to help improve the Giants running game, he will have a chance against a Bengals run defense that gives up an average of 116.1 yards a game. A once fundamentally strong defense led by coordinator Paul Guenther, the Bengals miss too many tackles and have produced 57 penalties. The defensive line has been impressive as pass rushers, getting 25 sacks on the year, but their insistence on getting to the passer has opened up run lanes.Another rookie who could play a major role in the outcome of the game against the Bengals is wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Starting wideout Victor Cruz has a sprained ankle and could miss the Bengals game. This will put Shepard into the starting spot against a defense that gives up tons of yardage to passing teams.Another rookie the Giants were counting on to play a significant role, cornerback Eli Apple, was benched against the Philadelphia Eagles. Apple, the Giants first-round selection out of Ohio State this year, had at least three mental mistakes against the Eagles and found himself on the sideline. Were going to dust Eli off and were going to put him back out there, and hes going to get better and learn from it, said McAdoo of the rookie defender.Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green has made a living out of embarrassing NFL cornerbacks, Pro Bowlers and rookies alike. Green is second in the NFL in receiving yards with 896. Against a secondary that continues to give up big plays, the Bengals will be attacking cornerbacks Apple, high-priced free agent Janoris Jenkins and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie with Green deep.Coming off their bye week should work wonders for Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert. Eifert missed the early part of the season due to issues with his back. Now 100 percent healthy, Eifert is a tough matchup for any safety in the NFL. On Monday night, Eifert will be facing safeties Landon Collins and Nat Berhe. Collins has three interceptions on the year and is an improved coverage player. But his true strength lies in his physicality in the run game, not as a coverage player. Berhe is a smart player and will need to use his brains to hold up in coverage against a more athletic player in Eifert.

SAN ANTONIO -- Life without Tim Duncan has officially begun for the San Antonio Spurs, even if they arent quite ready to accept it.For the first time since Bill Clinton was in the White House and Men In Black was a box office hit, the Spurs will open training camp without Duncan.During the teams annual media day Monday, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich joked that Duncan is being fined daily -- $2,500 a day, every day that he does not show up.I wasnt here with him that long so its not as dramatic for me as it will be for everybody else, but it definitely feels like he should walk in any moment but he hasnt yet, Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge said.Duncan retired in July after 19 seasons as arguably the greatest power forward of all time. A two-time MVP, Duncan led San Antonio to five NBA titles and helped set a selfless, team-first standard that is the envy of many sports franchises.The transition from the Spurs reliance on the Big Three of Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili began in earnest last season with the addition of Aldridge and the continued growth of Kawhi Leonard. San Antonio continued the makeover in the offseason with the signing of Pau Gasol, but that doesnt soften the blow of losing Duncan.I think its going to hit me more tomorrow when we get on the court, Parker said. Were definitely going to miss him. You cant replace a guy like that. Hes been the face of the franchise for the last two decades. Its going to be weird. Its going to be weird without him, especially now that we have a lot of young guys, a lot of new faces and so its going to be a lot of teaching to do at the beginning of the season.Duncan will attend some practices to assist with coaching, but it will be up to Parker, Ginobili and the other veterans to acclimate the largest number of new faces in Popovichs 20 sseasons as Spurs coach.ddddddddddddan Antonio added 11 new players to its training camp roster, including rookies Dejounte Murray and Davis Bertans and free agents like Gasol and David Lee.Its a lot of fun just to think about new bodies and new blood in the gym, Popovich said. Not just the players, the staff. I dont know half of the names of the new staff we hired in the film room, interns and management and all that kind of thing. A lot of people walking around, both players and staff. It will be exciting who comes up with what ideas, who plays well and who fits together.Gasol is the most critical addition. Entering his 17th season, the 7-foot center has won two NBA championships and made his sixth All-Star appearance last season while with the Chicago Bulls.Stepping into Duncans place in the starting lineup will be one of the biggest challenges of his career.Tim has been so exceptional and unique, Gasol said. He is considered by most of us the best power forward that has ever played the game. So, Im not coming here to fill his shoes and the spot that he left, but Im here to make the best that I can to fit in as best as I can and to work with the guys that are here to win a title and work as hard as I can to do that. Its an opportunity, its a privilege but at the same time, its a huge challenge.Gasols presence will help ease the burden on Leonard and Aldridge.The All-Star forwards led San Antonio to a franchise-record 67 victories last season before falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals.I think everybody has to take on that burden, Aldridge said. Its not a one-players job, no one can be Tim Duncan. Its going to be everyones job. ' ' '
