At the beginning of preseason, the Giants were said to be a team on the brink. Quarterback Daniel Jones begins his third season in need of a breakthrough. Giants’ fans booed when Jones was a surprise first-round draft pick. Although Jones will see limited preseason action, his situation is indicative of a bigger issue. New York head coach Joe Judge is already facing betting on NFL doubts as he begins year two of his reign. Counter to that is a Browns team that is on the come. Cleveland is coming off their first playoff season in 18 years.
