If you’re one of those people who believes that there’s no rhyme or reason to fantasy football defense scoring, and it’s all a matter of luck, then Week 4 was for you. Yes, the Vikings and Seahawks finished inside the top five, and I (and most everybody else) had them as the top two defenses. Yet, the New York Giants finished as the number one defense thanks to one play - the final play of the game. With Arizona taking the snap with the chance to take the lead on the final play of the game, Jacoby Brissett threw an interception in the end zone. That secured a win for the Giants, yet Deonte Banks took the pass down the sideline and brought it back 100 yards for a touchdown. That was an eight-point play for the Giants on the final play of the game, and it took their defense from six points (11th-best finish on the day) to 14 points and the top score. We also saw the Colts give up an 87-yard touchdown that was brought back on a questionable call, and that would have taken them out of the top 10 defenses as well. Even after the Commanders were forced to play their third-string quarterback.
