Falcons-Giants Preview

(AP) -- New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin gave his team four days off during its bye week. It's time to find out if the once-mighty Giants can respond and save what seemed like a promising season.

The Giants look to end their four-game slide Sunday when they host the Atlanta Falcons, who could be without top rusher Michael Turner.

New York looked dominant during a 5-0 start but hasn't won since. The Giants (5-4) were in good position to break through in their last game before allowing San Diego to drive 80 yards in the final 2 minutes for the winning touchdown in a 21-20 loss two weeks ago. (MORE)
