Malik Nabers puts on a show, Giants top Browns for first win

CLEVELAND -- Daniel Jones threw two touchdown passes to rookie Malik Nabers, New York's defensive players took turns sacking Deshaun Watson, and the Giants held off the Cleveland Browns 21-15 on Sunday.

Jones completed 24 of 34 passes for 236 yards as the Giants (1-2) shook off a loss at Washington that prompted a week of criticism toward coach Brian Daboll.

It wasn't easy.

The Browns (1-2) rallied in the fourth after being dominated for three quarters and losing three offensive linemen to injuries.

Watson threw his second TD pass to Amari Cooper, and Cleveland had the ball three times with a chance to take the lead.
