New York Look To Snap Their Three Game Losing Streak As They Head To Detroit

Five years that is how long it has been since the New York Giants last traveled to Detroit.

On Sunday the rookie starting quarterback out of Duke Daniel Jones will lead the New York Giants into Detroit against Matthew Stafford who unlike Daniel Jones has eleven years of experience of being a quarterback in the NFL.

Will the veteran who went to college at Georgia out play the rookie out of Duke?

The New York Giants who are a member of the NFC East come into the game with a record of 2-5 while Detroit who is a member of the comes into the game with a record of NFC North comes into the game with a record of 2-3. “according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/standings

As for the New York Giants previous game,

They lost to Arizona.

Turnovers and an early deficit were too much to overcome for the New York Giants in a 27-21 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at MetLife Stadium. Big Blue lost its third consecutive game to fall to 2-5 on the season while Arizona improved to 3-3-1 with its third straight victory. “according to https://www.giants.com/news/instant-analysis-giants-fall-to-cardinals-27-21

*Three of the offense’s top four skill players returned from injuries in running backs Saquon Barkley and Wayne Gallman and tight end Evan Engram. Wide receiver Sterling Shepard missed his second consecutive game with a concussion, and rookie Darius Slayton started in his place.”according to https://www.giants.com/news/instant-analysis-giants-fall-to-cardinals-27-21

*Daniel Jones threw an interception on the Giants’ first drive, which Arizona turned into a touchdown on the ensuing possession. The Cardinals were the only team in the NFL yet that had not intercepted a pass heading into Week 7. Jones was later strip-sacked in the third quarter (by Chandler Jones) and again in the fourth quarter (Patrick Peterson), increasing his turnover total to 11 (seven interceptions, four fumbles) in five starts. The quarterback was sacked eight times on Sunday, including four by Chandler Jones. “according to https://www.giants.com/news/instant-analysis-giants-fall-to-cardinals-27-21

Earlier in the week, the sixth overall draft choice said that taking care of the football was a point of emphasis as he entered his second month as a starter. Jones finished with 22 completions on 35 attempts for 223 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown pass to tight end Rhett Ellison.”according to https://www.giants.com/news/instant-analysis-giants-fall-to-cardinals-27-21

*Barkley, who had not played since he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 3 in Tampa Bay, had 18 carries for 72 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit to 24-21 with 8:13 left in the game. He also caught three passes for eight yards.”according to https://www.giants.com/news/instant-analysis-giants-fall-to-cardinals-27-21

Like New York, Detroit also lost their previous game as they lost to Minnesota.

Sunday marked the sixth loss this season by double digits for the Lions. The frustration with yet another one of those kinds of losses was felt by more than just Stafford after the game. “according to https://www.detroitlions.com/news/notebook-lions-frustrated-by-latest-loss

The loss drops the Lions to 5-10 on the year, something defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois hasn’t been too used to in his career. He was asked after the game if enough players have bought into what Matt Patricia and the new coaching staff were trying to implement in their first season. “according to https://www.detroitlions.com/news/notebook-lions-frustrated-by-latest-loss

Kick-off is set for 1:00pm from Ford Field. The game will be televised on Fox.
