"Mercifully, the New York Giants have just three games remaining in another debacle of a season. Their next task is to welcome the 6-8 Minnesota Vikings to MetLife Stadium (1 p.m. ET, FOX) in hopes of ending an eight-game losing streak that has them sitting at 2-12 with a firm grasp on the No. 1 overall pick at the 2026 NFL Draft."
"Interim head coach Mike Kafka has yet to win a game since taking over for Brian Daboll, which certainly is not helping his prospects at getting a permanent head-coaching job anywhere in this league. Finishing the 2025 season on a strong note would help his prospects, but it would also derail the Giants' hopes of securing that No. 1 pick, which they could potentially trade to a quarterback-needy franchise."
"We wanna win, Kafka said on Wednesday. There's no substitute for that. I think our guys are playing their tails off, and I appreciate that. We have to continue to find a way to continue to push a little bit more. Where is our edge that we can find to get us over the hump to win a game? We're battling, we're playing hard. We need more of that if we want to win."
The New York Giants sit at 2-12 and have lost eight straight games with three contests remaining, hosting the 6-8 Minnesota Vikings. Interim head coach Mike Kafka remains winless since replacing Brian Daboll, creating a tension between demonstrating late-season improvement and preserving the No. 1 overall pick for the 2026 NFL Draft. A strong finish could boost Kafka's career prospects but would reduce draft positioning and trade value. Special teams have been unstable; Younghoe Koo was waived after missed field goals, and Ben Sauls may be elevated as the team's fifth kicker of the season amid multiple injuries and inconsistent performances.
