CHARLOTTE — Say "hallo" to the New York Giants. The Carolina Panthers will hop on a plane this weekend for their longest trip of this season to face the Giants in Munich, Germany.

The Panthers are 7-6 all-time against the Giants. Carolina is 3-1 at home and 4-5 on the road, with a 1-0 record in the playoffs and a 0-1 record in overtime.

This season, and heading into Week 10, the two teams both sit at 2-7, with the Panthers coming off a 23-22 win against the Saints and the Giants coming off a 27-22 loss to the Commanders.

Ahead of the week of preparation and travel plans, get to know the New York Giants who will be waiting in Germany.

Malik Nabers leads productive rookie class

When the Giants nabbed Malik Nabers in the first round of this April's NFL draft (No. 6 overall), there was a sense he could make a difference right away. He's done just that, with 55 receptions for 557 yards and three touchdowns, even while missing two games in concussion protocol. The 55 receptions are tied for the third-most in the league overall.

As Michael Eisen of the Giants explained, each member of New York's rookie class has already found a way to make an impact. But they are led by Nabers.

According to Next Gen Stats, the rookie receiver has been the target 33.9 percent of the time and hasn't given up any interceptions. Nabers can also be a danger after the catch, where he has 36.3 percent of his total yardage. When Nabers takes off with the ball in his hands, he has a burst. The rookie has reached a max of 20.9 miles per hour and topped 18 MPH at least 13 times in a game.

The Daniel Jones aspect

What's the Euro's conversion rate on Danny Dimes?

The Giants quarterback saw his stat sheet fluxgate throughout the first half of the season with five games of 200-plus yards, four games of sub-200, and one of those four with less than 100 yards passing (14-21 for 99 yards). The sixth-year passer supplements some of his yardage on the ground, where he's rushed 60 times for 239 yards and a touchdown. That rushing score came this past week against Washington when Jones rushed seven times for 54 yards.

Through the air on Sunday, Jones went 20-26 for his best completion percentage of the season (76.9 percent) for 174 yards and two more touchdowns through the air.

With eight touchdowns to five interceptions and four straight losses, Giants coach Brian Daboll has begun receiving questions about Jones' future as the G-men's starting quarterback. Daboll told reporters on Monday that "nothing changes" this week in practice as far as Jones taking first-team reps ahead of Drew Lock and Tommy Devito.

Stars along the defensive front

Panthers fans will be familiar with one of the Giants most formidable pieces along the defensive front: pass rusher Brian Burns. The long-time Panther was traded to New York this past spring. He's accumulated 36 tackles, five sacks, a forced fumble, and seven passes defended (the latter a career-high).

Burns can rush off the edge, thanks to Dexter Lawerence drawing so much attention in the middle of the line. Lawrence has 34 tackles and nine sacks through nine games from the nose tackle position. His 28 quarterback pressures are third-most among defensive tackles in the league (minimum of 200 snaps), and his nine sacks lead all tackles.

Burns and Lawrence are holding down the defensive front without Kayvon Thibodeaux. The pass rusher is eligible to come off of injured reserve this week after a broken wrist, but Daboll told reporters on Monday that he is still not ready to play.
