Giants Fire Brian Daboll as Packers’ Offensive Slide Sets Stage for Week 11 Test

New York enters under interim coach Mike Kafka, with Green Bay relying on defense after injuries and scoring droughts.

Overview

  • The Giants dismissed head coach Brian Daboll after a 2-8 start and named offensive coordinator Mike Kafka as interim.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is in concussion protocol after Week 10, leaving his Week 11 status uncertain as Jameis Winston moves up to the No. 2 role and could start if Dart is not cleared.
  • Green Bay has fallen to 5-3-1 following consecutive home losses to Carolina and Philadelphia, slipping to third in the NFC North.
  • Despite Micah Parsons leading a top-tier unit that held the Eagles to 10 points, the Packers’ offense has struggled in the red zone and lost tight end Tucker Kraft to a season-ending ACL tear while other injuries mount.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged hot-seat chatter after the latest defeat, saying he focuses on the day-to-day as the Packers prepare to visit the Giants in Week 11.
