1. Darren Waller lived up to the hype in this one for the Giants

How awesome was it to see Darren Waller ball out the way he did against the Cardinals? In the Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, Waller had three receptions for 36 yards. It wasn't what people were hoping to see out of him. Against Arizona, especially in the second half, Waller was a focus for the aerial attack and he posted some great catches for Jones.

Against Arizona, Waller caught six balls for 76 yards. No, he didn't reach 100 yards or find the end zone, but No. 12 was a reliable option for Jones and he helped this offense get going when they needed to the most. It felt like whenever the Giants needed a pass-catcher to step up, Waller was there ready to make something happen.

In order for the Giants to keep the good vibes going and record some close wins, they'll need Waller to be at his best. That wasn't the case in Week 1 vs. the Cowboys, but what we saw out of him vs. Arizona was just what the doctor ordered.
