The New York Giants avoided the dreaded 0-3 start to the season thanks to a stabilizing 21-15 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon at Huntington Bank Field in Ohio.

The game could not have gotten off to a worse start for the Giants, but they were able to weather the storm and get up off the mat for a full four-quarter fight. Although it was far from pretty or easy, Big Blue managed to secure an upset victory and set the stage for an important Thursday night game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Here’s a look at the best and worst performers, courtesy of PFF, from the Week 3 win.
