Giants at Titans: How to Watch, Odds, History and More
The New York Giants begin a new era Sunday afternoon when they travel to Tennessee to face the Titans in the opener of the 2022 regular season.
The Giants, led by new head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, are looking to grab the attention of the entire league with a big win in Tennessee. This will be the first time we’ll see these new systems in action against other starting units, as the Giants faced only backups for most of the preseason.
The biggest storyline for the Giants this week and the rest of the season will be what that offense will look like with some additional talent and another new system. Quarterback Daniel Jones is coming into this season with his third offensive system in four years, not an ideal situation for many quarterbacks. However, there’s plenty of optimism that even with an improved offensive line and healthy weapons, Jones and the offense can put up respectable numbers (for now).
The Titans are coming off a 12-5 season and are the No. 1 in last year’s AFC playoff field. Running back Derrick Henry had over 900 rushing yards and ten touchdowns in just eight games last season and is hard to stop. The Titans’ run defense last year allowed just 1,438 yards on 3.9 yards per carry, second and third in the league respectively.
Sunday also marks the beginning of the Brian Daboll era for the Giants, the 20th head coach in franchise history. Daboll’s first game as NFL head coach meets a familiar face in Tennessee head coach Mike Vrabel. The two were part of Bill Belichick’s Patriots team from 2001 to 2006, with Daboll serving as defensive assistant (2001) and wide receivers coach (2002 to 2006) and Vrabel as linebacker.
