Overview

  • New York fired Daboll on Monday after a 24-20 defeat to the Bears in which the Giants squandered a 10-point third-quarter lead.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka takes over as interim head coach for the rest of the season, with no change reported for GM Joe Schoen.
  • The Giants are 2-8, and Daboll departs with a 20-40-1 record after an initial 2022 playoff run and subsequent decline.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left Sunday’s game with a concussion; he has been evaluated for head injuries four times this year and is absorbing roughly 13 hits per game since becoming the starter.
  • Injuries have battered the roster, including Malik Nabers’ season-ending ACL tear in Week 4 and Cam Skattebo’s season-ending leg injury in Week 8.
