For fans without cable, the game can be streamed for free through a five-day trial of DIRECTV. The Choice package, which includes CBS, is recommended for accessing the broadcast.

The Giants enter the matchup with a 2-1 record following a defensive victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. The team secured the win with four field goals from Dominic Zvada and a late interception by safety Jevon Holland. Quarterback Jameis Winston and the Giants' offense are aiming to improve their red zone efficiency, as the team has not scored a touchdown since the injury to Jaxson Dart in Week 2.

Earlier this week, the Giants acquired quarterback J.J. McCarthy via trade. McCarthy, who previously played in Minnesota, will serve as a backup to Winston.

The Cardinals are looking to rebound from a two-game losing streak. In their most recent game, they lost a close contest to the San Francisco 49ers, 36-30.
