The past week for the New York Giants, in a word, has been confounding: One week ago against the Washington Commanders, the Giants became the first team in NFL history to ever score three touchdowns in a game, hold their opponent to no touchdowns, and still lose the game in regulation: It was death-by-field-goal, as the Commanders were able to twist the knife on an injury to Graham Gano that left the Giants without a kicker by scoring seven field goals of their own, enough to earn a 21-18 victory.
The Cleveland Browns, meanwhile, have their own issues to resolve: After being humbled by the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, the Browns had to grind out a 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars a week ago, but the performance of quarterback Deshaun Watson and continued off-field issues surrounding him remain a major impediment to Cleveland’s chances in the AFC North.
Now, the Giants and the Browns meet in Week 3, with the Giants desperately trying to prevent a demoralizing 0-3 start in a short off-week since they will host the Cowboys on Thursday. The Browns, meanwhile, are seeking to keep their own heads above water and avoid a 1-2 start before heading out to Las Vegas to face the Raiders in Week 4.
