Confidence of former backup Lewis Jr. is catching

LANDOVER, Md. — When Roger Lewis Jr. heard the surprising news Sunday morning that Sterling Shepard would not be able to play against the Chiefs, he had a message for his fellow second-year Giants receiver.

“I told him that I got him,” Lewis said. “That we were going to go out and get this win.”

He was right. Lewis caught the overtime pass that set up the winning field goal for the Giants’ second victory of the season.

Shepard missed a second straight game Thursday night when the Giants played Washington at FedEx Field, but this time the Giants were more prepared.
