Wed Sep 18 18:46:53 UTC 2024: ## Giants Seek First Win After Another Close Loss, Face Tough Browns Defense
The New York Giants are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 0-2 start to the season, with their sights set on their first win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Despite a close loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 2, quarterback Daniel Jones believes he showed improvement from Week 1, a sentiment echoed by head coach Brian Daboll. However, the Giants face a stern test against a Browns team boasting the league’s top-ranked defensive front seven, according to NFL analyst Warren Sharp.
“Yeah, they’ve got a good defense, got good players at all three levels really, and a lot of speed,” Jones acknowledged. “We’ll have a game plan. I think obviously the pass rush is something we’ve got to take into account and plan for, and we’ll do that. But it’s always about us. It’s always about focusing on yourself and making sure you’re ready to go.”
The Giants have also made some roster moves, signing Greg Joseph as their new kicker after Graham Gano’s injuries. Joseph, known for his strong accuracy, is eager to contribute to a team in need of a win.
“I’m excited for it. It’s good to feel wanted and to be with a good team,” Joseph said. “It’s a good group of guys and I’m happy to be here. Obviously, the last two weeks have been real [closely contested] and my only goal is to help the team win, period.”
While the Giants face a tough challenge in Cleveland, Jones and the team remain confident in their ability to turn things around. “I think everyone realizes our record. I think everybody understands that, but no one’s discouraged or no one’s letting that affect our preparation and how hard we work going into the game,” Jones emphasized. “There’s a great energy and feel in the building still, and I think that that’s important and important to our preparation, important to our process and making sure we’re practicing well and preparing to play well.”
