The struggling New York Giants (2-9) will take the field this weekend WITHOUT Jaxson Dart Sunday in Motown against Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions (6-4).
Last week’s loss in Philly to the Eagles dropped the Lions to eighth place overall in the NFC and 1/2 game out of the playoffs. With games the next three weeks against the Packers, the Cowboys, and the Rams this game is a must win for the home team. The offense continues to be feast or famine even with Dan Campbell now calling the plays. The Lions scored 44 two weeks ago in his debut as the play-caller but just nine last week.
The Giants’ offense was bad before injuries to Jaxson Dart (concussion), Malik Nabers (knee), and Cam Skattebo (ankle) and for obvious reasons somehow worse without them. Dart has been declared OUT for Sunday’s game and so Jameis Winston gets the start under center. will be back under center this week. The veteran started last weekend and, true to form, threw an interception late in the fourth quarter to snuff out a potential game-tying drive.
