After a second consecutive gut-wrenching loss to open the 2015 season, the Giants (0-2) have no time to dwell on what could have easily been a 2-0 start. The Washington Redskins (1-1) come to town this week for Thursday night football. Big Blue has beaten its NFC East rival the last four times they played.
Washington has already played better than what most "experts" predicted before the season. The Redskins come off an impressive 24-10 win over the St. Louis Rams (1-1) this past Sunday.
Elsewhere in the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys (2-0) are the only team in the division without a loss. However, both Tony Romo (collarbone) and Dez Bryant (foot) are expected to miss significant time with injuries. Dallas hosts Atlanta (2-0) this Sunday.
The Philadelphia Eagles (0-2) have gotten off to a shaky start, and will look to put one in the win column Sunday when they visit the New York Jets (2-0).
