Justin Pugh says focus is key entering Sunday night

Week 1. Sunday Night Football. NFC East rivals. Jerry’s World. America’s Team.

It’s easy to get lost in a football game, huh?

You don’t have to remind New York Giants left guard Justin Pugh there will be distractions — in addition to a football game — Sunday night in Arlington. Focusing on the game, however, remains paramount.

“It’s definitely a big game for us,” Pugh said. “We’ve got to go out there and it’s going to be a crazy environment. That first quarter, when they have the flames going, the cheerleaders dancing around — we’ve got to go out there and focus in, lock into our game, run the ball and then give Eli some time.
