Overlook this week’s opponent at your own peril, especially when that opponent is the Kansas City Chiefs. But this isn’t about the New York Giants looking past Week 3 in primetime. It’s about recognizing that Week 4's outlook, when Big Blue hosts the LA Chargers, has suddenly shifted in a big way.
As reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Chargers star pass rusher Khalil Mack will be heading to injured reserve after injuring his elbow on Monday Night Football against the Raiders. Mack will miss a minimum of four games, meaning New York's chances at keeping Russell Wilson upright in Week 4 at home just got a pretty big boost.
