The unfortunate reality of the NFL is that among the 32 teams, someone has to be the worst every year. The New York Giants have made their bid for such a title, subjecting fans to 17 games of radioactive football.
They’ve reacted in kind, evacuating MetLife Stadium and voicing their displeasure to owner John Mara by way of airplanes over East Rutherford.
In Week 16, though, the Giants will go on the road, hoping to topple the Atlanta Falcons and end the losing streak before it hits double digits.
As New York struggles to string together competent outings (it’s logged five multi-possession losses), tensions are rising. Head coach Brian Daboll is on the hot seat, as is his staff.
Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen are hoping to do enough to keep Daboll employed. Both know a conference-worst 10-game losing streak doesn’t bode well for their collective fate.
