The New York Giants got a much-needed win against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. After a crushing loss to the Washington Commanders, the Giants dominated on both sides of the ball, as Daniel Jones tossed two more touchdowns, Malik Nabers continued to show why he was the best wide receiver taken in the NFL Draft, and the defense finally showed up.
Big Blue now has a short week to get ready to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football at MetLife Stadium. Despite Dallas having a history of beating the Giants with no issues as of late, they also sit at 1-2 - they're coming off back-to-back rough home losses. It feels like this will be a close battle. Here are our bold predictions for the action:
4. Brian Burns builds off Week 3 masterpiece
Pass-rusher Brian Burns finally showed why the Giants traded for him this past offseason and why he got a $141 million contract. After being a non-factor for the G-Men on defense in their first two games, the former first-rounder finally had his breakout game against the Browns.
Burns not only recorded one of eight sacks for Big Blue on defense, but he also caused a forced fumble that Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson coughed up that resulted in a touchdown for the Giants soon after. Look for Burns to build off that performance against Dallas. Maybe 1-2 sacks will be on the way?
