LONDON — This always was sitting out there, shielding the Giants from the bye week sitting seven games into the season. They knew before they could take a break, they had to endure their longest road trip and everything involved with a game across the Atlantic Ocean on foreign soil.
The Giants are 3-3 and Sunday morning (smack-dab in the afternoon here) face the Rams, also 3-3, in the first NFL game at Twickenham Stadium, a revered rugby venue, as part of the NFL International Series.
“I look at it as an opportunity for us to see what we’re made of,’’ Eli Manning said.
