The Giants defeated the Cowboys twice last season despite the fact Dallas lost just three regular-season games. Sunday night the Giants didn’t look like they could beat anyone, much less a Cowboys team which is a favorite to win the NFC East.
New York scored just three points without Odell Beckham Jr., amassed 233 total yards, and saw their new, shiny receiver Brandon Marshall catch just one ball late when the game was already over. The panic is understandable, but it’s early and Manning is cautiously optimistic the team will improve.
Von Miller, Denver Broncos linebacker: Me and my teammates, we felt like, we felt like President Trump’s speech was an assault on our most cherished right — freedom of speech.

Miller was one of 32 Broncos players who knelt during the anthem.
Richard Sherman, Seattle Seahawks cornerback: As a team, we wanted to do our best to not ostracize our guys, any of our individuals, allow them to feel welcomed and not really make them uncomfortable. That’s the worst thing you could do as a teammate is put your teammate in an uncomfortable position.
