The Cardinals get the Giants’ defenders confused with some pre-snap motion, and then Chase Edmonds takes it 20 yards for a rushing touchdown:
🎶wide open spaces🎶 pic.twitter.com/dvnb4ApXWf
Injuries:
David Johnson, who played just three of 39 offensive snaps in the first half, was testing his lateral movement on the sideline before the second-half kickoff. The Giants start the third quarter with the ball so it’s yet to be seen whether Johnson will play but after Chase Edmonds ran for 91 yards in the first half, it may be a tough case to rush Johnson back out with a bad ankle.

Pregame:
Caesars Sportsbook’s head of risk Jeff Davis says an hour before the early kickoffs that Washington is the book’s biggest need, followed closely by the Falcons: “We will need to win one of those two games or we will need to win every other game.” Washington is a 10-point underdog to the 49ers, who have attracted 91% of the point-spread bets at Caesars.

Big drive for Matthew Stafford. Passes 40,000 career yards (fastest in NFL history). Hits Marvin Jones for his second touchdown catch of the day — and TD No. 248 of Stafford’s career, passing Boomer Esiason and moving him into 22nd place all-time in touchdown passes, tying him with Tony Romo.
