Giants-Cardinals: Matchup to Watch

Giants (2-1) at Cardinals (1-2), Sunday at 4:05 p.m. Eastern, Fox

MATCHUP TO WATCH: Giants’ secondary vs. Larry Fitzgerald

It’s impossible to put any one Giant in the matchup with Fitzgerald. Everyone will get a chance to cover him (he’s so talented that maybe they should all do it at the same time). Led by two interceptions from Aaron Ross, the Giants limited Philadelphia’s  big-play threats in Week 3. Can they do the same against the Cardinals’ biggest weapon?

NUMBER TO WATCH: 5.7

Arizona running back Beanie Wells averaged 5.7 yards per carry in his first two games before sitting out last week with a hamstring injury. He is expected to return against the Giants, and his shiftiness will challenge the Giants’ defense, which has allowed only 3.6 yards per rushing attempt so far this season.

QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“I don’t want them to double me. I want to get out there and hopefully get some easy catches and walk away with a victory. That would be ideal if I could script it the way I want to script it.”’
Arizona wide receiver LARRY FITZGERALD, on how he hopes the Giants will try to cover him.
