The NY Giants and Washington Redskins are playing live on Thursday night football on the NFL schedule for Week 4 and the game is live on CBS and the NFL Network for the matchup from FedEx Field and New York is looking to win two in a row with Eli Manning, while Kirk Cousins has stepped in for RG3 and is looking to get a win and the game starts at 8:25 pm ET.
The Giants come into the game after their best game of the season so far against the Houston Texans and now Eli Manning is looking to keep things going against the Redskins. The team is playing their first divisional game of the season and they have all three division road games in the first half of the season. The Giants opened with two straight losses and scored just 28 points combined in those games, but they beat that against the Texans with a 30 point showing, their best in quite some time.
Manning had over 200 yards and was solid throwing the ball, completing over 70 percent of his passes and missing on just seven of his 28 throws with no interceptions. With Manning throwing four picks in two games and 27 last season, it was nice to see him get through a game without any picks. Rashad Jennings was inspired on Sunday and that pushed the offense and he ended up with 176 yards to set a new career high and now he has the chance to do it against the Redskins in his first NFC East division game with the Giants.
The team has a very important stretch coming up with three divisional road games in four weeks and it starts with a Thursday night game in Washington. The Giants finished ahead of the Redskins in the standings last season despite going 0-6 to start the season and now they will face off against Kirk Cousins after he took over the starting job following the injury to Robert Griffin III. The Giants saw what the Eagles and Redskins did last week and that means this game could be a high scoring affair as well. Victor Cruz comes in after a strong game and he is looking to keep that going and while Odell Beckham will not be playing in Week 4, he could be active for Week 5 at home against the Falcons.
The Giants have road games coming up with the Eagles and the Cowboys and then they will have all three divisional games in the back end of the season at home. The team comes out of the bye with a Monday night football game at home against the Colts and Andrew Luck and after that is a brutal stretch. The Giants play the Colts and then they hit the road for the Super Bowl champs in Seattle before a home game against the Niners and a home matchup with the Cowboys. The team has an easy game against the Jaguars at Jacksonville and after that they play the Titans before heading home again. The team ends the season with the Redskins, Rams and then Eagles at home in Week 17.
