Mike Kafka is not going to be, cannot be, the next full-time head coach of the New York Giants.
That much became clear both during and after the Giants’ humiliating, non-competitive 33-15 loss to the New England Patriots on Monday night.
Kafka seems to be a nice guy. He is doing the best he can in adverse circumstances, which is what all interim gigs are.
In his first couple of weeks on the job after the firing of Brian Daboll, Kafka did some good things.
He got the team to play hard, and nearly beat playoff-bound teams in the Green...

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

I had an opening to this post all lined up before the game: About Brian Daboll, for all his shortcomings, knowing how to evaluate quarterbacks, and how tonight’s game would match the quarterback he wanted last year and couldn’t get against the quarterback he wanted this year and was able to get. About whether Jaxson Dart would tone it down a bit coming off his concussion and seek to avoid unnecessary contact. About how new defensive coordinator Charlie Bullen might be able to rally the defense with a more aggressive approach and make a game of it against the 10-2...

The New York Giants were competitive in most games this year despite their putrid 2-10 record prior to their embarrassing 33-15 Monday Night Football loss to Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. New England finished with 395 total yards, 119 of them on the ground (4.1 yards per carry). The Giants only possessed the football for 26:34 to the Patriots’ 33:26.
New York was hapless, outmatched, and comically crumbled in front of a national audience. This matchup posed opportunities for both interim head coach Mike Kafka and defensive coordinator Charlie Bullen, but it was apparent – early on –...

The New York Giants continued to find unique ways to embarrass themselves in Monday’s 33-15 loss to the New England Patriots. The Giants’ seventh straight loss saw them fall to 2-11. Let’s get to the ‘Kudos & Wet Willies’ review.
Darius Slayton — The veteran wide receiver had a 30-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first half and a 2-point conversion grab on a wild play by Jaxson Dart in the second half.
Devin Singletary — This was by far Singletary’s most productive game of the season, highlighted by a 22-yard touchdown run on a fake reverse...

New York Giants rookie edge defender Abdul Carter, who was benched by interim head coach Mike Kafka for one series after missing a walk through practice before the Week 11 game against the Green Bay Packers, did not start Monday night against the New England Patriots and was benched for the first quarter. The ESPN broadcast called that a “coach’s decision.”
Carter was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was expected to be a difference-maker as a pass rusher. While he has created pressure, Carter has only a half-sack in 12 games.
Chauncey Golston started...

The New York Giants entered Monday night looking for a spark. Instead, they ran straight into one of the AFC’s hottest teams and another long, frustrating night ended with a 33–15 loss to the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
New England scored the first 30 points of the game, capitalizing on sharp quarterback play from Drake Maye, a 94-yard punt-return touchdown, and a defense that put Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart under pressure from the opening drive. By the time New York found the end zone early in the fourth quarter, the Patriots had already built a cushion too wide...

The 2-10 New York Giants get the national spotlight on Monday night as they try to end their six-game losing streak. It won’t be easy as the Giants will be in Foxboro, Mass. to face the 10-2 New England Patriots, who lead the AFC East and have won nine straight games.
The Giants will get rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart back in the lineup on Monday. He has missed the last two games with a concussion. Brian Daboll was fired as head coach following the Week 10 game in which Dart suffered his concussion. They are 0-2 in Mike Kafka’s two...

The New York Giants are getting healthier for their game against the New England Patriots.
The Giants will have Dexter Lawrence available after he was limited last week and did not practice during the week with an elbow injury. They’ll also have defensive backs Paulson Adebo, Tyler Nubin, and Deonte Banks available after all three missed the previous game with injury.
The New England Patriots, on the other hand, will be without multiple starters on both sides of the line of scrimmage. In addition to injured starters LT Will Campbell and iDL Milton Williams, they’ll be without starting left guard...

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire for Week 14. I think we all need to catch our breath after wall-to-wall NFL and college football (and food) from early on Thanksgiving Day through Monday night. Don’t spend too much time looking away, though. For most fantasy leagues, Week 14 is the final showdown before the playoffs start. Need a win to get in? One small complication: Four teams are taking their Bye. Timing is everything, right?
The Waiver Wire is especially thin this week, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be looking to tinker. There are still some options to...

The New York Giants are once again signing edge defender Tomon Fox to their 53-man roster in advance of Monday night’s game against the New England Patriots.
With Kayvon Thibodeaux out with a shoulder injury and Victor Dimukeje questionable with a knee injury, the Giants need edge depth.
This will be the fourth time this season the Giants have signed Fox to the active roster. Each of the previous three times he was signed he was eventually waived and re-signed to the team’s practice squad.
A four-year veteran, the former undrafted free agent has played in four games this season....

New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns is having a career year, and early voters for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games seem to recognize that. Burns is the leading vote-getter at outside linebacker in early fan balloting.
Burns is one of five Giants in the top 10 in voting at their positions. The others are:
Fan voting began on Thanksgiving Day and concludes on Dec. 15.
