EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In all the years I have been covering New York Giants training camp, which I started doing in 2008, Monday’s joint practice against the Detroit Lions might be my favorite practice of all time.
The Lions brought swagger, attitude and the confidence of knowing how good they are to Quest Diagnostics Training Center. The Giants did not flinch.
Before Monday’s practice against the Lions, the idea that this was a “litmus test” for the Giants kept coming up.
The Lions, after all, won the NFC North with a 12-5 record last season.
