Today at 1:00 p.m. ET the New York Giants (2-2), winners of two straight games, will take on the Atlanta Falcons (2-2) in an NFC matchup on Fox that can be live streamed here by clicking this link. Giants fans can find the radio broadcast on 101.9 WFAN FM, while Falcons fans may do the same on 790 The Zone.
The Falcons have been a Jekyll and Hyde type club so far, looking dominant offensively in home wins while failing to overcome their defensive woes when they hit the road. Now the offense will be put to the test with several key linemen missing.
"You hate to lose guys but when you lose them, it's another guy's opportunity to play," coach Mike Smith said. "And this is a no-blink mentality, you just move on and keep working."
Meanwhile, their pass rush has been one of the weakest in the NFL, which could spell doom against a Giants passing game that is beginning to click.
"There's still some improvement, still some things to get better on, some things with footwork and whatnot but definitely made strides and have to keep trying to get better each and every week," Giants quarterback Eli Manning said.
In the last two games, Manning has thrown for 534 yards, six touchdowns and just one interception. In the two games prior, Manning threw for 440 yards and three touchdowns, but also had four interceptions.
One of Manning's favorite targets this year has been breakout tight end Larry Donnell, a former basketball player whose athleticism has helped him become a dominant red zone target.
"It is about the same as going up and getting the rebound," Donnell said. "I was a throw-down type of guy. I break the rim. Not too many rebounds. It helps. It is just going up and having a bigger body and going up and getting it."
