A weekly look at what the New York Giants must fix:

The Houston Texans don't throw the ball much, but when they come to MetLife Stadium on Sunday to play the 0-2 Giants, they may be tempted to air it out more than usual. That's because the Giants might help them out if they do.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, there were seven Giants defensive penalties Sunday on 2014 point-of-emphasis plays (illegal contact, holding, illegal use of hands), and those led to five Cardinals first downs.

You can complain until you're Big Blue in the face about the quality of the calls. But the fact is they're being made, both ways, and the Giants' defensive backs need to do a better job of keeping their hands to themselves and not giving out free first downs. Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will see stuff on tape this week that tells him it might be a good idea to take some chances.
