The New York Giants and the Washington Redskins will face off in a big game on Sunday as Week 3 of the NFL regular season continues today. The Giants come into today's game undefeated where as the Redskins are still looking for their first win of the season so far. The game takes place from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey with a start time of 1 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Giants will be hoping to make it three from three with another win today. They've managed to claim two tight wins so far over the opening two weeks; defeating the Dallas Cowboys by just a single point in a 20-19 result in their opener, followed by a 16-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints last weekend.
The Redskins meanwhile have had a torrid time, being demolished in Week 1 by the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-38, and last week they were on the wrong side of a close result, losing to division rivals the Dallas Cowboys 23-27.
Washington will be desperate to avoid going 0-3 as that would leave them with a huge amount to do to get back in the Playoff race, and it is rare that a team can comeback from such a start to make the postseason.
Earlier this week, Thursday Night Football saw the Houston Texans travel to the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough to take on the New England Patriots.
Going into the game both teams had won two from two, and with the Patriots having trouble in the quarterback position, many analysts had penciled in the Texans as favorites to maintain their 100 percent start to the season.
However, from the start the Texans found the going too tough, and the Patriots completely shut down the Houston offense. Such was the efficiency of the New England defense that the game decided well before the end of the game.
Many had wondered how rookie Jacoby Brissett would do in his first NFL start, but Patriots fans need not have worried, as he recorded a 27 yard touchdown run and put on a performance beyond his experience.
LeGarrerre Blount also scored runs of 1 yard and 41 yards, to help the Patriots secure a 27-0 win and record their first shutout win since 2012. It was the first time the Texans have been shutout since 2003.
The 23 year old rookie quarterback was rarely put under intense pressure by the Texans, despite Houston having the third ranked defense in the league coming into Week 3.
Brissett ended the night 11 of 19 for 103 yards, as well as running the ball eight times for 48 yards.
Brissett said after the game: "It was crazy. It was awesome. Definitely great to see all the players just run up to you. I got a headache from all the head bobbing and head bumping. But it was definitely worth it."
Meanwhile, Houston quarterback Brock Osweiler said, "I felt like we had a great week of preparation, very focused. The game plan was solid and we worked hard. So this is hard to take. But the bottom line is that New England had a great game plan. They deserve all the credit. But we'll bounce back from this one."
