The bad news is that the former head coach's ineptitude was just the tip of the iceberg, and that Big Blue's dysfunction extends all the way to the top, which should come as no surprise to anyone. John Mara and Steve Tisch's team is a punching bag. After a 3-14 season last year, which was one of their worst in their 100-year history, the Giants are 2-9 with little suggestion that they'll figure it out.

There is a reason why New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt's role has dwindled to almost nothing over his three professional seasons. It was never more obvious than on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium with Jameis Winston and Big Blue's offense 14 yards from punching in a game-tying touchdown against the favored Green Bay Packers. On a 3rd-&-6 with 40 seconds to go, Winston had enough time in the pocket thanks to the brilliant work from New York's offensive line to look for Hyatt, who had two catches for 17 yards on the day after posting just three catches for 18 yards over the first 10 games of the season.

Among the regularly scheduled encounters on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills faced the Tama Bay Buccaneers in a crucial clash, the Minnesota Vikings were in action against the Chicago Bears, and the Cincinnati Bengals were back from their bye week to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Elsewhere New York Giants took on the Green Bay Packers, the Tennessee Titans faced the Houston Texans, and the Jacksonville Jaguars played the Los Angeles Chargers.

Week 10 is in the books! Coming out of Sunday, there was so much to talk about already. Upsets in Miami and Carolina, dominance from Seattle and Detroit, photo finishes in Chicago and Houston. The column was already packed to the brim ... and then the Giants fired coach Brian Daboll after 61 games at the helm. Daboll's Giants are 2-8 for the third consecutive season and end 20-40-1 under his tenure -- a win percentage of 32.7%. That simply won't cut the mustard, and I have no interest in making excuses for it. But the most interesting headline to come out of Daboll's firing is that general manager Joe Schoen, who was hired with Daboll, is not only keeping his job -- he'll be leading the search for Daboll's replacement.

Entering their Week 10 matchup vs. the Chicago Bears, the New York Giants are 2-7. They are on a three-game losing streak. During the 2025 season, New York has dealt with injuries at kicker. Veteran Graham Gano is in his 16th professional season and sixth with the Giants. Over the last three seasons, Gano has missed continuous time due to injury, and it has hurt the team.

"Drop eight in coverage!"

It wasn't just the way it all unfolded: Allowing leads of 19-0 and 26-8 to evaporate, giving up 33 points in the fourth quarter after holding the Broncos to none through the first three, and taking a two-point lead on a 65-yard touchdown drive capped by Jaxson Dart's 1-yard run with 37 seconds left - only to miss the extra point (for the second time in the game) and allow the winning field goal as time expired.
