New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers: How to Watch, Odds, History and More
The New York Giants notched a surprise 21-20 win in Tennessee last week, overcame a 13-0 halftime deficit and rode on the legs of running back Saquon Barkley, who rushed for a league-best 164 yards with 164 yards. The Giants are now looking to go 2-0 for the first time since the 2016 season, when they drew 1-0 at the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers, who defeated the Giants last year, have a new quarterback in Baker Mayfield, and they will bring Christian McCaffrey back into the lineup after missing last year’s game through injury.
The Panthers narrowly lost their Week 1 opener 26-24 via a last-second field goal to the Cleveland Browns in an alleged revenge game for Mayfield, who was previously the Browns’ quarterback. Stopping McCaffrey, who Giants defense coordinator Wink Martindale said reminded him of the legendary Lions running back Barry Sanders given McCaffrey’s elusive runner and receiver, will be a tall order for a Giants defense last week had some adventures in reporting on the second level.
The Giants will also see a familiar face in Ben McAdoo, the Panthers’ current offensive coordinator. McAdoo was the Giants’ head coach from 2016-17 and led the team to their only playoff spot since winning Super Bowl XLVI in 2011.
