The New York Giants gave themselves a chance on Sunday to be relevant this season. Or, at least to be something other than a bottom-feeding laughingstock teams mark on their calendars as an easy ‘W.’
Barely.
The Giants held a two-score lead at the half and dominated the action — except for the first two plays — until early in the fourth quarter, then hung on thanks to both some good defense and some bad Cleveland play for a desperately-needed 21-15 victory.
GM Joe Schoen said during the offseason edition of ‘Hard Knocks’ that the Giants had to avoid an 0-3 start.
