The Giants have scored at least 30 points in three games this season - as many as they've had the last two seasons combined - but are 1-2 in those games. "Everyone's got to look at the man in the mirror," linebacker Bobby Okereke said Monday. "It's easier to point the finger but from a team perspective, it's better to point the thumb and figure out what I can do better as an individual. So, that's what we're all about to do."

New York Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen's game plan is not only fluid but open to suggestions. That's a good thing for Big Blue's defense, as multiple requests to ramp up the pressure from head coach Brian Daboll and defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence helped the Giants preserve an upset 34-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium. We have to be aggressive, Daboll said. I told Shane to be aggressive. Don't hold anything in your holster. Go after them. It worked.

"It was on my heart. Something that was on my heart," Burns said. "I wanted to lead and show the guys how much I care and that meant a lot for me. . . .And they responded positively."
