The New York Giants face a critical early-season game Sunday when they meet the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. (1 p.m. ET/FOX). Both teams are 0-2, and no team has reached the playoffs after an 0-3 start since the 1998 Buffalo Bills. Even in what looks like a mediocre NFC East an 0-3 start would be difficult for the Giants to overcome.
Here are all of the details.
Game Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C.
TV: FOX Sports (Thom Brennaman, Brian Billick, Laura Okmin)
