The New York Giants and the New Orleans Saints had a shoot-out for the ages in 2015.

But Cruz’s return should alleviate some of the defensive pressure from Beckham, who appreciates having the veteran wide receiver in the lineup.
The nine-yard catch came in the corner of the end zone off a pass by Eli Manning, with the rookie making a leaping catch against fellow rookie Anthony Brown.
“I think it goes with any game”. “When you face a quarterback like Drew Brees, I don’t know what his average is but it seems like it would be 40 points a game or something very high”. “They have a little bit more of an elaborate offense, but they’re still going to do what they want to do”.
The Giants opened their season 1-0 by defeating the rival Cowboys, 20-19.
In the meantime, it is true the Saints defense must account for other players in the passing game.
Though Beckham and Cruz were suiting up for a game in Dallas, their wardrobe showed their hearts and thoughts were with NY and the rest of the country.
“They’ll probably fine me”, Beckham said, according to The Record’s Art Stapleton. “Know what their weaknesses and what their strengths are”.
Beckham, however, remains the top threat and the Giants are virtually certain to test a young Saints secondary without cornerback Delvin Breaux, who is recovering from a broken fibula.
The rookie wide receiver impressed at the collegiate level as well, because in four years he caught 233 passes for 3,482 yards and 26 touchdown passes.
Not only is this an opportunity for the Giants’ offense to prove that they can still hang with the best, it is also an opportunity for the defense to show just how much they have improved from previous year.
Moore adds he now sees a big difference on tape with the Giants’ wide receiver corps when compared to the past season.

Beckham said he hadn’t yet heard from the National Football League after Wednesday’s practice, but he expected a fine.
