It’s early in the season, but the New York Giants face their first test of resiliency in Week 2.
The Giants astonishingly found a way to lose their regular-season opener against the Dallas Cowboys and that type of loss tends to linger in the psyche of players.
According to the Giants’ official Twitter handle, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has already adopted the correct mindset heading into the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons:
"The record says 0-1 for the #Giants but we have to let it go out the window and move on." - Odell Beckham Jr.

Whatever went on in the huddle during the Giants’ Week 1 debacle, it must remain in the past.
The Falcons come to MetLife Stadium after an impressive win over the Philadelphia Eagles at the Georgia Dome on Monday Night Football. In 2014, Atlanta went 3-5 on the road—all three road wins earned against division opponents. The Falcons lost one of those road games to the Giants.
Atlanta brought in a new coaching staff and put a premium on the rushing attack in Week 1. Can they find success on the road? Will the Giants shake off a stunning Week 1 loss against a vertically explosive Falcons team?
