The New York Giants defeated the Tennessee Titans 12-7 on a rainy day, relying heavily on their running game and securing four field goals from rookie kicker Dominic Zvada. However, the victory came with a significant setback as defensive star Brian Burns suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter. The win improves the Giants' record to 2-1 under new coach John Harbaugh, while the Titans drop to 0-3 after struggling offensively and committing multiple turnovers.

Story summary
The New York Giants face worsening injury issues as star linebacker Brian Burns will miss time due to an ankle injury suffered during their 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Jaxson Dart, the team's young quarterback, has been ruled out for the season after suffering knee damage in the same game. The Giants host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday and are expected to start backup QB Jameis Winston, who struggled in his first game back since Dart’s injury. Despite these challenges, rookie kicker Dominic Zvada showed promise with successful field goals against the Rams, potentially boosting a unit looking to make improvements under new coordinator John Harbaugh.
