AI RECAPIn a high-scoring showdown, the New York Giants topped the Pittsburgh Steelers 56-37 in Week 3 of the 2028 season. With both teams looking to establish themselves early in the season, the Giants emerged victorious, showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive prowess.
Leading the charge for New York was quarterback Jaxson Dart, who threw for an impressive 431 yards and four touchdowns, carving up the Steelers' secondary. His connection with the receiving corps was electric, but it was the Giants' balanced attack that kept Pittsburgh on its heels. Meanwhile, Steelers' DK Metcalf put on a show of his own, racking up 183 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Giants' scoring.
Defensively, the Giants were relentless, with DJ Pickett making his presence felt by recording three total tackles and snatching two interceptions.
