  "account": "The New York Giants have faced two of the NFL's premier quarterbacks this season. Previously, Dak Prescott of the Cowboys was largely absent from the action in the second half, as the Giants maintained possession. More recently, reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford showcased his prowess in a dominant performance against the Giants, leading the Rams to a convincing win. The Giants must aim to tighten their defense against the Titans, who will be under the command of Cam Ward, a former Giants head coach. Ward, the team's 2025 No. 1 overall pick, has yet to face the Giants this season, offering the opportunity for a matchup between two top draft selections.",
  "summary": "Giants DC Dennard Wilson went against Titans QB Cam Ward every day in practice last year. His defense must get after Ward and break their sack slump",
  "key_points": [
    "Giants defense must improve against Titans' Brian Daboll.",
    "Cam Ward, Titans' head coach, faces Giants for first time.",
    "Giants previously dominated against Dak Prescott and Stafford."
