Politi: Fire Brian Daboll? ‘Soft’ Giants are making that decision easy for owner John Mara | nj.com
When the doors to an NFL locker room open to the media after a loss as bad as the beatdown the Giants suffered on Sunday afternoon, those of us carrying the cameras and the notepads never know exactly what we’re going to encounter.
Maybe it’ll be anger. Maybe it’ll be apathy. Maybe it’ll be a bunch of empty stalls, a sign that the players have given up on accountability altogether. After three decades of walking into these uncomfortable situations, I’ve learned to never be surprised.
NY Giants called ‘soft’: If this one fails to strike a nerve, it’s over | The Record
As the waning moments of Sunday’s 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played out on the field, Mara walked quietly into the press box elevator and descended to the basement of MetLife Stadium. The doors opened and Mara, the Giants’ co-owner and team president, stepped out and began the long walk through the hallway on his way to the locker room. The hustle and bustle of an NFL game, regardless of the scoreboard, was enough to cause distractions if he allowed for that, just not in this case.
A group of reporters waiting near the security checkpoint at the MetLife loading dock and Mara slowed just enough to extend a “Happy Thanksgiving” greeting, and that was that.
Darius Slayton: We need to do our jobs

After Tommy DeVito fails to spark Giants, Brian Daboll doesn’t regret benching Daniel Jones: ‘We’re moved on’ | SNY.tv
The head coach said the situation with Jones didn’t have any impact on the team and was “no excuse” for the team’s poor showing. But does Daboll regret benching the starter? “No, we’re moved on here,” he said.
When asked again if moving on from Jones – who many on the team believed was the best QB on the team – could impact the locker room, he reiterated they had moved past that and, “We just gotta do a better job, play better all around.”
2025 NFL Draft: Giants’ next 3 games will go a long way in determining draft spot | The Athletic
As this season comes to a close, that’s going to be a key number to keep an eye on. Strength of schedule is the first tiebreaker the league uses to determine draft position between teams with the same record. The team with the lower strength of schedule, the aggregate winning percentage of a team’s opponents, receives the better pick. Right now, that’s bad news for the Giants. Their strength of schedule (.520) is one of the highest among teams jockeying for the No. 1 pick.
What that means for Giants fans in terms of rooting interest is easy, though: Root against anyone the Giants have played or will play the rest of the year. The more losses those teams pile up, the lower the Giants’ strength of schedule becomes.
Coach Brian Daboll on what he said to the players after the game

This week’s opponent
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders recap: Scores, highlights, news | Blogging The Boys
The Dallas Cowboys won on Sunday and did so because they a bunch of wild things happened both for them and as a result of their hard work. It was their first win since the beginning of October.
To start things off Jayden Daniels hit Terry McLaurin for a massive touchdown on literally the first play that they had with just seconds left thanks to doing everything that they could to get the ball back. Chaos ensued with fans celebrating obviously and Dan Quinn elected to go for the extra point and tie as opposed to the two points and potential win. A bad snap led to a miss on the extra point
NFL Week 12: Biggest questions, takeaways for every game | ESPN.com
Cooper Rush is steady, and that’s what teams need from their backup quarterback. Against the Commanders, Rush completed a season-high 78.5% of his passes and avoided big mistakes. His previous best as a starter was 67.7% in a 2022 win against the Giants. He threw two touchdown passes in the second half and looked like the quarterback who went 4-1 as Prescott’s replacement in 2022.
Stephen Jones on trade for Trey Lance: I don’t regret that at all | Pro Football Talk
“[Lance] is a top-tier pick, a guy we had at the top,” Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Friday. “As you know, Dak was coming up for a contract, and we wanted to take a look at a good, young talent and didn’t feel like we could get anything from a quality standpoint like we could get with Trey. As it turns out, we ended up signing Dak long-term. So, obviously that puts a little less need in terms of having to rush to do something with Trey. Matter of fact, it makes it hard because Trey, I’m sure, is wanting to see what’s out there now that we have committed to Dak long-term. But I don’t regret that at all.”
