In the first Monday night game of the new NFL season the New York Giants visited the Detroit Lions. It was a pretty one-sided affair as the Giants never once lost control of the game and within the first quarter went up by 14. Jim Caldwell has good control of his team, and other teams need to watch out for the Lions this year. MosheFootball's prediction was Lions 31, Giants 24.
Lions Pros - The Lions passing game was great. Calvin Johnson Jr. had some amazing catches including a diving catch for a touchdown. Matthew Stafford finished the game with 346 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions.
Lions Cons - If you watched the game, you heard the announcers keep saying the Lions were shooting themselves in the foot with stupid penalties. The announcers couldn't be more right.
Giants Pros - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie looked very solid in his Giants debut.
Giants Cons - Eli Manning had a bad game with only 163 yards. He had two interceptions, and after the second one was picked of by Glover Quin, you can clearly see Manning mouth the "F" word on camera.
Player of the Game: Calvin Johnson Jr.
