New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers: How to Watch, Odds, History and More
The New York Giants pulled off an upset 21-20 win in Tennessee last week, overcoming a 13-0 halftime deficit and riding the legs of running back Saquon Barkley, who rushed for a league-best 164 yards. The Giants now look to get 2-0 for the first time since the 2016 season when they host the 0-1 Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers, whom the Giants beat last year, have a new quarterback in Baker Mayfield, and they will have running back Christian McCaffrey back in the lineup after he missed last year's game due to injury.
The Panthers narrowly lost their Week 1 opener, 26-24, on a last-second field goal against the Cleveland Browns in what was supposed to be a revenge game for Mayfield, previously the Browns starting quarterback. Stopping McCaffrey, whom Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said reminded him of legendary Lions running back Barry Sanders, given McCaffrey's elusiveness as a runner and receiver, will be a tall task for a Giants defense that last week had some adventures in coverage at the second level.
The Giants will also see a familiar face in Ben McAdoo, now the Panthers’ offensive coordinator. McAdoo was the Giants head coach from 2016-2017 and led the team to its only playoff berth since it won Super Bowl XLVI in 2011.
