Gints head coach John Harbaugh knows how big this game is for the Giants as they try to win their first NFC East title since 2011.

“It’s just a really important game for our team,” Harbaugh said.

“Division game, man. Division game. We’re trying to win the division first. That’s our first goal here. This game will go a long way toward that. That’s why it’s so important. Division games are big. Division games on the road are really big. Those are big wins if you can get them. They’re tough to get. It’s a big challenge. We’re excited about the opportunity, but we understand it’s a daunting challenge.”
