After their recreation in Germany this Sunday, they may head right into a much-needed bye. After that, they’re up towards a gauntlet of playoff contenders in Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Philadelphia.
The one respites, consider it to not, are a Thanksgiving recreation in Dallas towards a reeling Cowboys crew and a house recreation versus New Orleans.
The Giants have tried nearly every little thing to cease this free fall however nothing has labored. In the event that they win 4 video games, they’ll contemplate themselves lucky.
