4 reasons the NY Giants will take down the Cardinals in their Week 2 matchup
3. The Giants will have a fire lit under them after an embarrassing loss
After the way in which the Giants were dominated and embarrassed on national television, we have to imagine that the team will have a fire lit under them. New York was very clearly not prepared for the Cowboys and took this game lightly. This time around, we're confident that Brian Daboll will have the Giants ready to play from the start in Week 2.
New York was utterly embarrassed to the point where the Cowboys' pass-rushers were making jokes about them on the sidelines. This is unacceptable and we hope that Daboll shows the team this clip in order to make them understand just how bad this loss was. In no world should players like Osa Odighizuwa and Dorance Armstrong dominate any team's offensive line.
While the Cardinals don't have a great defensive line, they have some guys who could give New York issues. Last weekend vs. the Commanders, Arizona posted six sacks. The Giants gave up seven to Dallas. Will a repeat nightmare for the NY offensive line be on the way? We don't think so.
Wink Martindale is going to call on his defensive superstars to play at a high level. Lost in last week's loss was that cornerback Deonte Banks had a strong showing in his regular season debut. Tre Hawkins III had a rough go, but he'll have a fantastic chance to bounce back vs. Arizona.
