  "account": "Arvell Reese put on a stellar performance in Sunday's game, leading the New York Giants with nine tackles, three pass breakups, and an interception against the Cardinals. The young linebacker, selected fifth overall in the draft, showed why the Giants had high hopes for his versatility as an every-down linebacker rather than an edge rusher. Despite leading the Giants with nine tackles, Reese downplayed his performance, acknowledging the standard set by Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who was present in the building. Giants coach John Harbaugh praised Reese's all-around play, describing him as \"playing out of his mind.\" The Giants' defense, including Reese's impressive outing, has been a crucial factor in their 3-1 season start.",
  "summary": "(AP) — Arvell Reese turned in a dominant performance with Hall of Fame New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor in attendance, then downplayed it.“With a guy like that in the building, him setting the standard for how that position is supposed to be played back in the day, it definitely means a lot to play a decent game like that,” Reese said.",
