The Giants have had two weeks to solve their numerous problems. They're going to find out whether the time off helped when they host the Washington Redskins on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, FOX) in an NFC East matchup. The Giants (1-2) had a well-timed bye last week, giving the team a chance to cool off and potentially correct the mistakes stemming from a crushing 42-30 loss to Seattle in Week 3. "I hope that's what everyone went home and thought about, and I hope they came back with that mentality," veteran cornerback Sam Madison said. "If not, it's going to be a long season. This is a divisional game, and it's definitely a big one." The Redskins have won two straight and are 2-2.
