After a thrilling 32-31 victory in Tampa Bay last Sunday, the hopeful New York Giants head back to MetLife to face the (0-3) Washington Redskins for Daniel Jones’ first home start.
The Giants are coming off of one of their most thrilling victories in recent years, with Daniel Jones pioneering a 8 play, 75-yard drive that was completed with 7 yard TD run on 4th down by the rookie quarterback. The Giants, who desperately needed the victory, have a chance to reach the .500 mark with a win over Washington this Sunday.
The Redskins, who looked promising in the first half of the season opener against the Eagles, are still searching for their first victory of the season. They fell 32-27 to Philadelphia in week 1 and 31-21 to Dallas in week 2 before getting run out of the building on Monday night football against Chicago, 31-15. The Redskins are looking to avoid their first 0-4 start since 2001.
A couple of ex-Giants will look to get their revenge on Sunday at 1:00 PM. Both Landon Collins and Ereck Flowers will be making their first return to MetLife since leaving the team, both eager to make the Giants’ Front Office regret their decision.
Needless to say, this game is essentially another must-win for the Giants if they want any hope of keeping the season alive. These are two teams desperate for a win, so look for a hard-fought battle between two NFC East Foes.
