For a player making his season’s first start — and on the nationally-televised Sunday Night Football stage, at that — Azeez Ojulari’s ability to finish plays quickly became just as much of a trending topic. Proving to be a must-see talent during Oct. 13, 2024’s interconference clash, the Giants linebacker kickstarts a two-sacks-in-three-plays sequence, first by keeping disciplined on Cincinnati’s play-fake, hunting down the Bengals’ quarterback for a crucial sack. Circling the block once more during a third-and-short, Ojulari, finding similar success despite just a four-man rush, powerfully muscles through the field’s middle, capturing Cincinnati’s star signal-caller for a second takedown. A masterful effort by New York’s defense went unrewarded in Week 6’s 17-7 loss, but the former 2021 second-rounder dazzled even so, recording four tackles, two QB hits, two sacks, and six pressures.
