NFL Week 3: Giants Host Titans, Jets Visit Lions
Both New York teams look to build on early-season momentum in Week 3 matchups, with former Giants coach Brian Daboll returning to MetLife Stadium with the Titans.
The NFL's Week 3 schedule features two compelling matchups involving New York's teams. The New York Giants will host the Tennessee Titans at MetLife Stadium, while the New York Jets travel to face the Detroit Lions.
Giants vs. Titans
The Giants, seeking to rebound after a tough loss, will face a familiar face on the sidelines as Brian Daboll, the Giants' former head coach, returns to MetLife Stadium as the Titans' offensive coordinator. The Titans are aiming for their first win of the season after starting 0-2.
The Giants' quarterback situation has been fluid. Jaxson Dart is out for the season after undergoing knee surgery for meniscus and MCL tears, sustained during the Week 2 loss to the Rams. Jameis Winston is expected to make his third start for the Giants in this game.
The Titans will rely on quarterback Cam Ward and running back Tony Pollard to ignite their offense against a Giants defense that has been dealing with injuries. The game is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 27, and will be broadcast on CBS. For those without cable, the game can be streamed for free via a five-day trial of DIRECTV's MySports genre pack.
Jets vs. Lions
The New York Jets, also starting with a 1-1 record, will travel to Detroit to play the Lions. The Jets are coming off a close overtime loss to the Packers in Week 2, after securing a victory in Week 1 against the Titans.
Quarterback Geno Smith and the Jets' offense will look to secure a road upset. The team's aggressive front seven will aim to create turnovers and control field position against the Lions.
This game marks the first return to Detroit for Jets head coach Aaron Glenn since he left the Lions coaching staff to join the Jets in 2024. The Lions, who lost a high-scoring shootout to Buffalo in Week 2, will be looking to defend their home turf with quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, and their running game.
The Jets and Lions game is also set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on September 27 and will be broadcast on FOX. Similar to the Giants game, it can be streamed for free with a five-day trial of DIRECTV's MySports genre pack, which includes FOX.
