. There in Glendale, Ariz., at what is now called State Farm Stadium, they will take on the Cardinals, a team that hasn’t quite replaced the angry bird on their helmet with an actual tank, but you get the sense they won’t be mourning many losses this year, either.

That’s the National Football League, that’s an every week thing. It’s always competitive.
The Giants have one thing going for them: There really, truly — literally — is only one way to go following the Sunday slaughter they endured at Dallas’ hands, and that’s up. And though Arizona gave the Commanders fits earlier that day before losing — and, well, Washington isn’t likely to experience many more highs than that this year, truth be told — Sunday will bring about as agreeable a game as the Giants could’ve asked for.
