The New York Giants will host the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium on Thursday (November 12) to kick off Week 10 of the NFL season. The Giants, leading the NFC East with a 5-2-1 record, aim to extend their divisional lead, while the Commanders, at 2-5-1, seek redemption after a disappointing tie in their first meeting this season.
J.J. McCarthy will make his first home start for the Giants since being traded from Minnesota. According to Giants.com, McCarthy is recovering from a hip injury but is expected to play. "I feel fairly good about that," said Giants coach John Harbaugh.
The Giants' defense, led by standout rookie Arvell Reese, has been a key factor in their success. Reese, recently named NFC Defensive Player of the Week, recorded 12 tackles and three sacks in their last game against Philadelphia. Harbaugh praised Reese, saying, "He's really a good player and he's all the other things, too."
The Commanders, coached by Dan Quinn, are looking to improve after a 20-13 loss to the Rams. Quinn emphasized the importance of playing cohesively, stating, "We have to play all three phases together."
Fans attending the game are encouraged to participate in a "White Out" event at MetLife Stadium, where the Giants will wear their "Vintage White" uniforms. The game will be streamed on Prime Video starting at 8:15 p.m. ET, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
