The New York Giants (2-9) head to Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, for a Week 12 tilt against the NFC North-contending Detroit Lions (6-4). It’s a classic mismatch: A rebuilding Giants squad desperate for momentum versus a Lions team eyeing a bounce-back win.
New York’s Jameis Winston starts his second straight game at quarterback, subbing for concussed rookie Jaxson Dart. The Giants hope his cannon arm sparks life into their anemic offense — just without the turnovers that usually come with it.

Detroit, slightly banged up but potent, relies on head coach Dan Campbell’s grit. The ex-Giants tight end turned coach will channel that old Big Blue fire to dominate an inferior foe and steady the Lions’ ship.
