What they're saying

"
The 3-1 New York Giants are a revitalized outfit under John Harbaugh’s excellent leadership. Somehow, despite being down their two most impactful players on both sides of the ball, quarterback Jaxson Dart and edge rusher Brian Burns, for the rest of the season, they’ve done enough to have one of their best starts in quite a while, while their early schedule is somewhat forgiving.
