The New York Giants and Cleveland Browns face off on Monday Night Football tonight in Cleveland.

The Vitals:

Game: New York Giants (4-0) @ Cleveland Browns (1-3)

TV: ESPN. Mike Tirico will be in charge of play by play, Ron Jaworski and Tony Kornheiser will provide color commentary, and Michele Tafoya will be reporting from the sidelines.

Time: 8:30 p.m. EST

Game Notes:

  • Browns star TE Kellen Winslow will miss tonight’s game due to swollen testes. Winslow was in the hospital for three days but was released yesterday.
  • The Giants are first in the league in points per game, and are third in opposition’s total yards per game.
  • After an impressive 10 win campaign last year, the Browns have posted a paltry 1-3 record through four games, mostly due to the struggles of QB Derek Anderson and WR Braylon Edwards.
  • The Giants are looking for their first 5-0 start since 1990.
  • The Browns are looking for their first Monday Night win since 1993.

    Wow. Hats off to the Browns. They played a heck of a game. Giants had too many miscues and the Browns capitalized on them.
