Teams don’t like to look past the next game or look back at previous games. But Sunday, it will be difficult for the New York Giants not to.

They are headed back to the desert, back to Arizona, where they defeated the New England Patriots in last season’s Super Bowl.

The Giants are acknowledging it. But they also are trying to move on from it, at least for this game.

“I think it will be neat going back to that stadium,” admitted Giants quarterback Eli Manning, the MVP of last season’s Super Bowl. “But I think it will be a different feel this week just because we are going to be in Arizona’s stadium. And we are going to be the away team. It should be a different crowd; a different feel. It is a new season.

“So our focus is on preparing this week and getting ready for the game. And once we get there I think our focus will be on Arizona and trying to win that game and nothing else.”
