约翰·哈博接手纽约巨人队，部分原因是二年级四分卫杰克森·达特展现出的潜力。
John Harbaugh took over the New York Giants in part because of the promise presented by second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.
达特因周一晚在客场以6-28不敌洛杉矶公羊队的比赛中遭受膝伤，赛季报销，目前纽约舆论普遍认为哈博的首个赛季可能会很漫长。
Dart is out for the season with a knee injury suffered Monday night in a 28-6 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams, and the popular opinion in New York now holds that Harbaugh might be in for a long debut season.
然而，有理由相信纽约巨人队（1胜1负）或许能挽回一个体面的赛季，从周日主场对阵仍未尝胜绩的田纳西泰坦队开始。
Yet there are reasons to believe New York (1-1) might be able to salvage a respectable season, starting with Sunday’s home game against the winless Tennessee Titans.
其中之一是老将贾米斯·温斯顿的存在。尽管在其12个NFL赛季的大部分时间里容易失误，但温斯顿也拥有过单赛季5000码传球的成就，职业生涯共投出156次达阵传球，其中2019赛季就有33次。
One of those is the presence of veteran Jameis Winston. While turnover-prone across most of his 12 NFL seasons, Winston also owns a 5,000-yard season and has thrown 156 touchdown passes, including 33 in 2019.
温斯顿周一晚仅完成27次传球中的11次。预计他周日会更精准，因为他将获得所有与首发组的训练机会。哈博和教练组也会更多地根据温斯顿而非达特的技术特点来调整进攻体系，从而发挥他的机动性优势。
Winston completed only 11 of 27 passes on Monday night. He can be expected to be more accurate Sunday because he’ll take all the practice reps with the starters. Harbaugh and the coaches will also fit the offense more to Winston’s skill set instead of Dart’s, which allows them to feature his mobility.
去年达特因脑震荡缺阵时，温斯顿曾两次首发出战，传球达阵两次、冲球达阵一次，甚至还接球达阵一次。短期内，保持温斯顿健康至关重要。巨人队阵容中唯一的另一名四分卫是杰克·海纳。
Winston made two starts last year when Dart was sidelined with a concussion, throwing for two touchdowns, running for a third and even catching a score. In the short term, keeping Winston healthy is critical. The only other quarterback on New York’s roster is Jake Haener.
“贾米斯是我们的人，显然他在这里是有原因的。他是一名非常优秀的橄榄球运动员，”哈博说。“在国家橄榄球联盟，伤病是常态，任何位置都可能遇到。你必须想办法克服这些困难。”
“Jameis is one of our guys who obviously is here for a reason. He’s a very good football player,” Harbaugh said. “Injuries in the National Football League are part of it and that’s at any position. You got to find a way to overcome those kind of things.”Also helping New York: its next five games are against teams that are a combined 2-8. Three of those games are at home.
另一个利好因素是：巨人队接下来的五个对手合计战绩仅为2胜8负。其中三场在主场进行。
Tennessee (0-2) nearly pulled off an upset last week but fell 24-20 at home against Philadelphia, allowing the winning touchdown pass with nine seconds remaining.
泰坦队（0胜2负）上周差点爆冷，但主场以20-24不敌费城老鹰队，在比赛还剩9秒时被对手传球达阵绝杀。
The Titans were dominated for most of the first half but outgained the Eagles decisively until Jalen Hurts led the game-winning 65-yard drive.
泰坦队在上半场大部分时间处于被动，但直到贾伦·赫茨率领球队推进65码完成制胜进攻前，他们在总进攻码数上曾明显占优。
Lost in the news about Dart is that Tennessee brings back the Giants’ former head coach — Brian Daboll calls the plays for Tennessee — and top receiver from last year in Wan’Dale Robinson, who had 92 catches for 1,014 yards.
在关于达特的新闻掩盖下，田纳西泰坦队迎回了巨人队前主教练——布莱恩·达布尔现在为田纳西队呼叫战术——以及去年的头号接球手万德尔·罗宾逊，后者上赛季接球92次推进1014码。罗宾逊在新球队的两场比赛中接球6次推进47码。
Robinson has six receptions for 47 yards in two games with his new team.
“我有很多回忆，”罗宾逊谈到他在纽约的岁月时说，“从被选中在那里开始，我成长了很多，这也是我成为今天这个男人的部分原因。”达布尔在2022-25赛季担任巨人队主教练，并在2022赛季后荣获NFL年度最佳教练。去年纽约队以2胜8负的糟糕开局后，达布尔被解雇。
“I have a whole lot of memories,” Robinson said of his years with New York. “I grew up so much from the time I got drafted there and it’s part of the reason I’m the man that I am today.”Daboll served as the Giants’ coach from 2022-25 and earned NFL Coach of the Year honors after the 2022 season. Daboll was fired last year after New York stumbled to a 2-8 start.
达布尔正试图帮助培养二年级四分卫卡姆·沃德，就像他在布法罗四年间对约什·艾伦所做的那样。沃德因周围缺乏天赋而受阻，但有时展现出闪光点，包括上周下半场的表现。
Daboll is attempting to help develop second-year quarterback Cam Ward, much as he did with Josh Allen during four years in Buffalo. Ward has been hampered by a lack of talent around him but has shown flashes at times, including during the second half last week.
沃德将面对一支兵力不足的防守，因为巨人队线卫布莱恩·伯恩斯（脚踝）预计将缺席比赛。泰坦队自身也存在伤病隐患，跑卫托尼·波拉德和泰杰·斯皮尔斯都在遭受脚踝酸痛困扰。
Ward will face a short-handed defense as Giants linebacker Brian Burns (ankle) is expected to miss the game. The Titans face injury questions of their own as running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are dealing with ankle soreness.
在NFL其他地方，本赛季前两周表现最令人惊讶的两支球队将在周日下午相遇，拉斯维加斯突袭者队将客场挑战新奥尔良圣徒队。
Elsewhere in the NFL, two of the most surprising teams through two weeks of the season will meet when the Las Vegas Raiders visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon.
突袭者队（2胜0负）上赛季以3胜14负的战绩与其他三支球队并列联盟最差，他们因如此糟糕的赛季获得的奖励——状元秀费尔南多·门多萨——甚至还不是因素。他一直在15年资深老将柯克·库辛斯手下当替补，后者在首年主教练克林特·库比亚克的进攻体系中如鱼得水，前两场比赛每场都传出3次达阵传球。
The Raiders (2-0) finished in a four-way tie for the worst record in the league last season (3-14), and their reward for such a poor season — No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza — hasn’t even been a factor. He has been an understudy to 15-year veteran Kirk Cousins, who is thriving in first-year head coach Klint Kubiak’s offense, throwing three touchdown passes in each of the first two games.
圣徒队主教练凯伦·摩尔曾是四分卫，他指出自己和库辛斯在2012赛季同期进入NFL，此前两人曾在资深碗上做过队友。库辛斯的经验正为拉斯维加斯队带来回报。
New Orleans head coach Kellen Moore, a former quarterback, noted that he and Cousins entered the NFL the same season (2012) after being teammates in the Senior Bowl. Cousins’ experience is paying off for Las Vegas.
“我认为重要的是，无论结果如何，我们都要每天每周带着同样的更衣室氛围回归，保持你的流程、你的备战方式一致，”库辛斯说。“这必须保持一致。” Raiders的防守也是一个重要因素，在战胜海豚队和充电器队的比赛中，他们场均失分仅27分，位列AFC第二少，且以五次抢断排名联盟第二。
“I think it’s important that we come back every day and every week regardless of the outcome with the same locker room to have your process, your way of getting ready the same,” Cousins said. “That’s got to be consistent.”The Raiders’ defense has also been a big factor, allowing the second-fewest points in the AFC (27) in victories against the Dolphins and the Chargers, and they are second in the league with five takeaways.
“我们仍在努力提升防守，”库比亚克说。“我们在防守端做了一些好事，但我们知道对手一直在研究我们的弱点，所以我们必须继续努力让自己变得更好。” 圣徒队（1胜1负）是五支赛季初连续客场作战的球队之一。只有他们、布朗队和包装工队在客场取得了胜利，而海豚队和指挥官队则都以0胜2负开局。
“We’re still trying to improve defensively,” Kubiak said. “We’ve done some good things defensively and we know that our opponents are working on our weaknesses all the time so we’ve got to keep working to get ourselves better.”The Saints (1-1) are one of five teams that began the season with consecutive road games. Only they, the Browns and Packers managed to win a game while the Dolphins and the Commanders both started 0-2.
但就像Raiders一样，圣徒队也强调，赛季初的良好开局并不代表太多。“我们还有很多工作要做，还有很多比赛要打，”摩尔说。
But like the Raiders, the Saints are emphasizing that an encouraging start doesn’t mean much this early in the season.
新奥尔良的四分卫比拉斯维加斯的经验少得多，但泰勒·肖在第二个赛季就以662码传球码数领跑NFL。然而，圣徒队的冲球进攻场均仅78码，排名联盟第28位。
“We’ve got a lot of work to do and a lot of games to go,” Moore said.
“这是一个持续性的问题，”摩尔谈到冲球进攻时说。“有时它看起来像你想要的样子，有时则不是。这涉及11个环节，还有战术设计的视角。” 圣徒队在揭幕战中仅因一次两分转换失败而未能取得2胜0负的战绩，尽管他们在前两场比赛中都曾面临两位数的早期落后。首场比赛他们曾以0比21落后狮子队，随后肖率队反击将比赛拖入加时，但他的两分转换传球在比赛最后时刻未能完成，最终以30比31告负。
New Orleans’ quarterback is a lot less experienced than Las Vegas’, but in just his second season, Tyler Shough leads the NFL in passing yards (662). New Orleans, however, is 28th in rushing (78 yards per game).
上周，他们曾以3比14落后乌鸦队，随后肖再次率队反击，并在关键时刻第四档进攻中推进一码达阵，最终以24比17获胜。
“It’s a consistency thing,” Moore said of the run game. “There are times that it looks the way you want it to and other times when it doesn’t. There are 11 pieces to it and then there’s also a design perspective.”The Saints are just one failed two-point conversion in their opener from being 2-0 despite facing early double-digit deficits in both games. They fell behind Detroit 21-0 before Shough led a comeback to reach overtime, where his two-point conversion pass went incomplete on the final play of a 31-30 loss.
“我们正朝着正确的方向前进，”舒夫说。“有一些早期细节我们必须专注解决。我们还有很多比赛要打，如果要周周保持高水平发挥，还有很多地方需要改进。”
Last week, they fell behind the Ravens 14-3 before Shough led another comeback and sneaked one yard on fourth down for a late touchdown that produced a 24-17 victory.
圣徒队一名首发球员——回攻专家巴里恩·布朗（腿筋伤）——周三和周四缺席训练。跑卫特拉维斯·埃蒂安（腿筋伤）两天均受限训练，另一名跑卫肯德雷·米勒周四因病未参加训练（DNP）。
“We’re trending in the right direction,” Shough said. “There are some early details we have to focus on. We have a lot of football left and a lot more to clean up if we’re going to play at a high level week in and week out.”One Saints starter — return specialist Barion Brown (hamstring) — missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. Running back Travis Etienne (hamstring) was limited both days, and fellow running back Kendre Miller was a DNP Thursday due to illness.
突袭队一名首发球员——安全卫特雷丹·斯图克斯（脑震荡）——周三和周四均未参加训练。明星近端锋布罗克·鲍尔斯（膝盖伤）每天都受限
One Raiders starter — safety Treydan Stukes (concussion) — did not practice Wednesday and Thursday. Star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) was limited each day.
