Giants need big run to overcome another bad start to season

Associated Press  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It might be easy to look at the New York Giants’ 3-6 record and take the high road.

There’s hope they can return to the postseason for the first time since 2016 if they can put together a run like they did last year. It took six-plus games, but coordinator Pat Graham finally has his unit playing like a year ago when it kept New York in most games.
