With some wind in their sails, the New York Giants are feeling confident after a hard-earned 21-15 road win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. Heading into Week 4, New York will host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. But this year, the Cowboys aren’t having quite as much success as both teams enter the game with a 1-2 record. Giants safety Jason Pinnock shared a funny analogy for his take on what awaits him against the Cowboys.
“My big brother beat me for 12 years, but in the 13th year, I’m going to kick your ass.”
Pinnock is one of the team’s defensive leaders in their defensive secondary. He is third on the team with 18 total tackles, three sacks and a pass deflection.
Giants, Brian Daboll reinvigorated for Week 4 game against Cowboys
After the game, Brian Daboll spoke about the principles he is trying to instill in the Giants during their post-match press conference after the Browns victory.
“We talk about resilience, commitment to each other, teamwork, discipline and attitude. There’s going to be ups and downs in every game. There’s ups and downs in every season. That’s something we preach internally. Our guys are confident in themselves. But it’s nice to get the result. The process has been good. I believe in our process, I’ve said that before. So their commitment to each other, their next-game mentality, the things we’ve been preaching for a long time. They haven’t fully paid off yet. Everybody wants to see results, and I understand it’s a results business. But we believe in what we do and the way we do things.”
It’s easy to be optimistic after watching Malik Nabers have such a hot start to the season and catapult the team to a big road win. Nabers is the first player in NFL history to have 20 receptions and three touchdowns in a career. the first three career gamesas Adam Schefter noted.

Daboll continued in his praise by Nabers, via Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic.
“Malik is very smart. It’s not just understanding where he needs to line up, different spots, different positions, but he has a good feel for how defenses play him or how certain players play him. He has good information,” Daboll said last week. “When he comes to me and says, ‘Hey, this guy, when I get this split, he’s going to line up here. Think about it.’”
The Giants will aim for a second straight win when they host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, September 26 at 8:15 p.m. EST.
