With three games to go, the New York Giants will face their biggest test to date on Sunday when they host the undefeated Carolina Panthers.
The Giants—who are fighting not just to remain relevant, but to also secure a place in the postseason—can use Sunday’s matchup as a litmus test to see if what they started in Monday night’s 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins was simply a result of playing a lesser opponent, or if it is a legitimate foundation on which to build.
The Panthers have been blowing out their opponents of late, their last victory decided by one score or less coming two weeks ago in a 41-28 win over New Orleans.
