After a week of hype and speculation over how many points the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints would put up, the teams combined to score only 29 points. Regardless of the offensive output of big plays, the Giants registered another win, starting the season 2-0 for the first time since 2009.

That season, the Giants stumbled to an 8-8 finish and missed the playoffs. This season, the Giants are riding high after two hard fought wins.  Both featured two noticeable similarities; resounding defensive efforts and less than impressive offensive outings.  Unlike last week against Dallas, this week, the Giants offense did not find the end zone. And that is the most significant of the takeaways from their most recent victory.
