The Giants Are Already Needling Josh Norman
Despite the fact that the Josh Norman-Odell Beckham Jr. matchup last season got out of hand and downright dangerous, cornerback/receiver feuds are rare and delightful, and though Washington and New York don’t play until Week 3, the Giants are doing everything they can to shade Norman and hype up the...
