This week we will start to learn if the Giants earned all the plaudits they received on the NFL’s “Overreaction Monday,” when many proclaimed them the team to beat in the NFC East.
They won in Dallas, the Eagles were also victorious, but it was against the hapless Browns, and Monday night, the Redskins would get pummeled by the Steelers. It fits an ideal narrative with the Giants’ retooled defense looking much improved against the Cowboys and the offense providing a clutch drive and showcasing big-play ability.
“It’s an overreaction to Week 1, even though I think they improved dramatically, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” MSG Network postgame analyst and former Giants receiver Amani Toomer said.
