Another week, another primetime game for the New York Giants.
The good news is that the Giants’ difficult stretch of games appears to be coming to an end this weekend, when they play their fourth primetime game (of five scheduled). They’ll face the Buffalo Bills, who lost in London last week and will likely see the Giants as a “get-right” game.
However, the Giants are in serious need of their own “get right” game. And it just so happens that head coach Brian Daboll is well familiar with the Bills, having previously served as their offensive coordinator until joining the Giants last year.Another week, another primetime game scheduled for the New York Giants.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Buffalo Bills organization, (Bills Owner/CEO/President) Terry Pegula, (Bills General Manager) Brandon Beane, (Bills Head Coach) Sean McDermott, and all of their coaches and players.” But our concentration is constantly on.us
I have a lot of respect for the Buffalo Bills organization, including (Bills Owner/CEO/President) Terry Pegula, (Bills General Manager) Brandon Beane, and (Bills Head Coach) Sean McDermott, as well as all of their players. However, our primary emphasis is always on ourselves, as we prepare to perform. They’re an excellent squad. So we’ll have a lot of work ahead of us.
Daboll’s return to Buffalo is why this game has such a national appeal and is just one of several storylines to unfold ahead of the game. Here are a few others.
The Giants are almost certain to trot out a sixth different starting combination on Sunday night if left tackle Andrew Thomas isn’t ready to go (and early indications are he might not be).
