1. The New York Giants take on the Washington Football Team on  Thursday Night Football

This game will be aired on NFL Network and kick-off at 8:20PM EST and is perhaps interesting for all the wrong reasons. Thursday night football is a pair of 0-1 NFC East teams both teams Atlanta will have to face later in the season.

Perhaps two of the few teams Atlanta will have a shot to beat this season. Taylor Heinicke is going to get his first chance to take over for the Washington Football Team and will be the most interesting factor in this game.

Taylor made a postseason start for Washington and gave Tampa all they could handle in the first round. Arguably Taylor outplayed Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes who Brady would go on to beat in the following rounds.

The Giants are interesting simply for the fact Atlanta will attempt to get their first win against the Giants in week three.  Daniel Jones is coming off of another game in which he gave the ball away at the wrong time and it cost his team the game.

Jones turnover issues are unlikely to improve against an absolutely ferocious Washington defense that is looking to bounce back after losing to Justin Herbert. It is going to be an ugly game that is going to be fun to watch.
