The Carolina Panthers are set to face the New York Giants in Munich, Germany, marking their longest trip of the season. The Panthers have a historical record of 7-6 against the Giants, including a 1-0 playoff record and a 0-1 overtime record. Currently, both teams hold a 2-7 standing as they head into Week 10.
This matchup will spotlight several key players from the Giants. Malik Nabers, picked sixth overall in this year's NFL draft, has emerged as a standout rookie with 55 receptions for 557 yards and three touchdowns despite missing two games due to concussion protocol. Michael Eisen from the Giants noted that Nabers is leading his class in making an impact on the field.
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has had mixed performances this season, with five games exceeding 200 passing yards but also four games under that mark. Despite recent losses and questions about his future role, coach Brian Daboll affirmed that Jones will continue taking first-team reps.
On defense, former Panther Brian Burns now plays for the Giants and has made significant contributions with 36 tackles and five sacks this season. Alongside him is Dexter Lawrence, who leads all defensive tackles with nine sacks through nine games. However, Kayvon Thibodeaux remains on injured reserve due to a broken wrist.
