- The Giants are 2-7, and Daboll’s future is being questioned; the New York Post noted he and GM Joe Schoen are not necessarily a package deal.
- Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a bright spot, completing 62.3% for 1,175 yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions, plus 251 rushing yards and five scores.
