Thirty times. THIRTY! That’s how many times Giants’ quarterback Daniel Jones has fumbled the football since coming into the league in 2019. That’s the most in the NFL over the last two-plus seasons and the second most all-time over a 28 game span. “It's certainly something I've got to improve on,'' Jones told the media Tuesday. “I'll learn and keep moving forward.”

Jones’ latest folly came with just under three minutes to go in the third quarter, down 10 against the Broncos last week. The Giants started a drive at their own 25-yard-line and went 60 yards over 10 plays, before Jones coughed it up on a seven yard scramble. The Giants went on to lose, 27-13.

Washington also enters this week off a loss, falling to the Chargers last week, 20-16. Starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was forced to leave the game in the second quarter with a hip injury that has since placed him on injured reserve. Taylor Heinicke will get the start under center against the Giants.

The inactives are as follows:

Washington: Sammis Reyes (TW), Saahdiq Charles (OL), Shaka Toney (DL), Darryl Roberts (CB)

Giants: Evan Engram (TE), Cam Brown (LB), Collin Johnson (WR), Quincy Roche (LB), Justin Hilliard (LB), Sam Beal (CB), Josh Jackson (CB)

The back-up turned starter earned himself a two-year $8.75 million contract extension in the offseason after taking over for the injured Alex Smith last year in the playoffs. He threw for 306 yards with a passing and a rushing touchdown in a 31-23 loss to the Buccaneers. Last week Heinicke completed 11-of-his-15 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown caught by tight end Logan Thomas.  

Washington is a 3.5-point favorite against the Giants. The over/under is 40.5 points.

Giants vs Washington live streams in the US

In the US, the Giants vs Washington live stream will be broadcast at 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT today (Thursday, Sept. 16) on NBC and the NFL Network, which are available with most cable packages and on two of our favorite streaming services: Fubo TV and Sling TV.

If FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling (which doesn't include CBS, and RedZone is available with the Sports Extra add on). You can get CBS NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.

The more comprehensive package comes from Fubo TV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.

It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.

Fubo.TV:a 7-day free trial

Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with the NFL Network, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.

Sling TV

If you can stand to miss CBS games, Sling TV provides a middle ground. The $50 per month Sling Orange + Blue package has FOX affiliates, local NBC affiliates and ESPN.

NFL Sunday Ticket: This game is a part of NFL Sunday Ticket this week, which has no extra games aside from this one this week.
