John Carney Named “NFC Special Teams Player of the Week”: PK John Carney has been named the “NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.” In Sunday’s 26-23 overtime victory over Cincinnati, Carney kicked four field goals: from 24, 46, 26, and 22 yards. The last field goal came in overtime to win the game for the Giants. It was the 15th game-winning field goal of Carney’s career and his third in overtime.
New York Giants Make Practice Squad Move?: The Star-Ledger is reporting that the Giants have signed TE Martrez Milner to the Practice Squad. Milner was drafted in the 4th round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Falcons. However, who the Giants released from the Practice Squad to make room for Milner was not revealed.
Notes: Through three games, the Giants’ defense has created only one turnover. The lone takeaway ties the Giants with St. Louis and Detroit – two winless teams – for the lowest figure in the league. Fortunately for the Giants, they have only turned over the football once themselves.
The Giants are tied with the Eagles for the League lead in sacks totals with 13.
