FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- We may have seen the real Landon Collins for the first time on Thursday night. The one who is supposed to come in and level people at the line of scrimmage. He did just that against the Patriots twice in the first half of the Giants' 12-9 victory and finished with four combined tackles.
"It felt good," the rookie safety said. "I'm known for being a big hitter and that's what I wanted to showcase tonight. Once I got the opportunity, I wanted to shut them down."
He impressed his veteran teammates, especially his newest one.
