Daniel Jones and the Giants continue their march to … mediocrity on Sunday night against the playoff-seeking Browns.
"Mediocrity" might be a harsh word to use, but barring a miracle, the Giants are going to finish at or around .500 this season, even if the NFC East is still within grasp. The Giants had a golden opportunity for a statement game vs. the Cardinals on Sunday, but instead fell 26-7 and to 5-8 overall on the season.
Things don't get any easier for the Giants, either. With Jones still battling a hamstring injury, the 31st-ranked scoring offense in the NFL is going up against Myles Garrett and a defense that just let nearly 50 points on national TV. (Yikes.)

The Browns are coming off a heartbreaking 47-42 loss to the Ravens on Monday night. Baltimore took a 45-42 lead with just two seconds left on the clock in regulation, notching a safety as time expired and the Browns lateraling on the ensuing kick return.
At 9-4, the Browns are still firmly in the playoff hunt and are trending towards their first postseason appearance since 2002. The division is still in reach, as well, but Cleveland will need some serious help to nudge them ahead of the scuffling Steelers for their first AFC North crown since, well, six years before Baker Mayfield was born.
Below is more about the matchup, plus everything to know about how to watch "Sunday Night Football."
Who plays on 'Sunday Night Football' tonight?
- Matchup: Cleveland Browns at New York Giants
- Location: MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ
For its second-straight game, Cleveland will shine in the primetime lights, their third primetime game overall this season.
The game, which was originally scheduled for an afternoon kickoff, was flexed into the "SNF" slot with both teams firmly in a division race. The Giants' misstep against the Cardinals put a damper on the matchup, but both teams still have division aspirations.
What time is the NFL game tonight?
- Date: Sunday, Dec. 20
- Kickoff time: 8:20 p.m. ET
All "Sunday Night Football" games in 2020 have the same set start time of 8:20 p.m. ET. There are Sunday night games scheduled for every week of the season except Week 17, though the NFL has the ability to flex a game into a Week 17 "SNF" window.
While the start times for all "Sunday Night Football" games in 2020 will go unchanged, the matchups might be tweaked.
The NFL has a flex scheduling procedure that allows for "quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and give surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime." Here are the key rules for flex scheduling:
— Begins Sunday of Week 5 and in effect during Weeks 5-17
— Up to two games may be flexed into Sunday night between Weeks 5-10
— Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window
— The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night during flex weeks will be listed at 8:15 p.m. ET
— The announcement will come no later than 12 days prior to the game
What channel is Giants vs. Browns on tonight?
All "Sunday Night Football" games in 2020 will broadcast live on NBC. The network's TV rights deal with the NFL gives it all "Sunday Night Football" games as well as the annual Thursday night season-opener, and NBC is given a spot in the Super Bowl broadcast rotation.
NBC's team of announcers features play-by-play man Al Michaels, analyst Cris Collinsworth and sideline reporter Michele Tafoya. However, Michaels this season will be given a few "bye weeks" because his age (75) puts him at a high risk for COVID-19. Veteran broadcaster Mike Tirico will take Michaels' place on those weeks.
