The New England Patriots host the New York Giants on Thursday night seeking to stay perfect following a 5-0 start. Here is exactly what to expect…
Even the Giants (2-3) kicked off the season with no real vitality, stumbling to losses in Dallas and also at home against Buffalo with 38-year-old Eli Manning at the helm. Before Week Threes visit to Tampa Bay, newcomer Daniel Jones has been appointed the quarterback newcomer and hes changed the complexion of the group.
Jones had a four-touchdown performance as they beat the Bucs 32-31, and followed it up up with a 24-3 win over Washington in his home debut. Last week however, the Minnesota Vikings beat handily New York 28-10.
Even the Super Bowl champion Patriots (5-0) have begun in dominant type, winning four games against Pittsburgh, Miami, New York (Jets) and Washington together with ease and scraping a demanding 16-10 win in Buffalo.
New England possess a enormous plus-121 point differential already, 51 better compared to the group in second (49ers, plus-70). Theyve scored the second-most factors (155) and surrendered the fewest (34). Bill Belichicks team looks unstoppable.
In Daniel Jones introduction that was huge, he showed the Giants spent the first choice in the NFL Draft of this year on the Duke QB. But, his departure yards (336-225-182) and passer rating (112.7-78.0-65.9) have fell into every match.
Now, Jones confronts the leagues best passing defense (only 160.4 yards per game allowed, zero touchdowns enabled, 11 interceptions driven, 44.0 passer rating against). How can he handle it?
He will be aided by 2018 Rookie of the Year Saquon Barkleys usage – if he is in a position to generate a rapid return that is miraculously from a high ankle sprain. But hes statedI dont know if Im playing Thursday night because he attempts to recuperate in time.
Against the Redskins on Sunday, Tom Brady reached 71,923 career passing yards. He just 18 metres shy of Peyton Manning at second. Brady has thrown 10 touchdowns and two selections, and in 42 years old, the Super Bowl winner is currently enjoying with with some of the best football.
On defense, the Pats have made plays. Linebacker Jamie Collins is the only player in the league with four sacks and several interceptions (three), security Devin McCourty leads the league with four interceptions, and defensive lineman Chase Winovich is aiming for a third consecutive game with a sofa.
