The New York Giants face another tough test on Monday night as they visit Russell Wilson and the 5-2 Pittsburgh Steelers in primetime.
Wilson made his first start of the season last week and guided the Steelers to a dominant 37-15 win over the New York Jets, with some help from a Steelers defense that picked off Aaron Rodgers twice. Wilson finished his debut with 264 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Najee Harris rushed for 102 yards and one score.
The Giants, meanwhile, suffered their most lopsided loss of the season in Week 7, a 28-3 beatdown at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in MetLife Stadium.
