New York Giants
The New York Giants defense is dreadful against the run. After cgiving up 277 yards on the ground in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants allowed the San Francisco 49ers to rush for 159 yards in their 34-24 win at MetLife Stadium. The 49ers had an easy plan — give the football to Brian Robinson and Christian McCaffrey, who totaled 32 carries for 159 yards.
The 49ers used 21 personnel 50% of the time and 22 personnel 15% of the time. Their 12 personnel snaps were 9% and their 11 personnel were just 26%. Heavy personnel forced the...

With each ugly loss, it seems less and less likely that Brian Daboll can engineer a late-season turnaround that would ensure his remaining as head coach of the New York Giants past this season.
Of course, Daboll can play the “I’m the guy who identified and can develop Jaxson Dart” card in a pitch too keep his job. He can also play the injury card. He can’t, though, explain away an embarrassingly under-performing defense led by his hand-picked defensive coordinator. He can’t explain losing so many winnable games. He can’t explain away three straight 2-7 starts. He can’t explain away...

The New York Giants will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 10 hoping to halt a three-game losing streak. According to early odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Bears are favored by 3.5 points, while the over/under (total points) is set at 48.5 points.
The Giants (2–7) have struggled in all three phases — offense, defense and special teams — in recent weeks. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has shown flashes of potential but needs more help, and the team’s running game has been limited following an ankle injury to rookie Cam Skattebo.
The Bears (5–3) are coming off their best...

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire for Week 10.
Believe it or not, we’re at the halfway point of the NFL season. Each team has played either eight or nine of 17 games. The fantasy football playoff push is officially here. This isn’t a great week for free agents, but with all the injuries we’ve had and four more teams on Bye in Week 10, working the waiver wire is crucial. If you aren’t using the wire to your advantage, you’re giving up ground to the competition.

There isn’t much positive to say about the New York Giants after their embarrassing 34-24 defeat by the San Francisco 49ers. Pro Football Focus grades can often tell us something about who played well and who didn’t, but when a good part of the problem is the coaches, as it seemed to be yesterday, we have to think about them in a different light. Let’s try to do that.
First, let’s look at the offense as a whole, because it has something interesting to tell us:
This is a team that had put 10 points...

The New York Giants were easily defeated by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9. Here are the five plays, or sequences of plays, that led to Jaxson Dart’s first home loss.
Brian Burns and the Giants’ pass rush provided the necessary spark against the 49ers two-minute offense at the end of the first half. Burns won around the edge and earned his 11th sack of the season; the ball popped into the air and was secured by Abdul Carter, giving the Giants the football with 33 seconds left in the half...

The New York Giants won’t fire defensive coordinator Shane Bowen despite giving up 105 points during a three-game losing straak that has seen the Giants go from 2-4 to a disheartening 2-7.
The Giants lost 34-24 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, a third straight game in which they have allowed more than 30 points.
The Giants gave up 33 points in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 7, 38 points to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8 and 34 on Sunday. They were head of Denver 19-0 after three quarters, but the...

The 2025 NFL trade deadline is just a day away. With the New York Giants having fallen to 2-7 there is still chatter about the Giants adding a wide receiver to try and help rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. More interesting, though, might be whether or not the Giants subtract anyone from their roster before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline.
Offensive lineman Evan Neal and wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, high draft picks by GM Joe Schoen who have never lived up to expectations, remain the names to watch.
Hyatt, who has just three receptions this season and 11 in 22 games...

With the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday and the New York Giants at 2-7 for the third consecutive season it was fair on Sunday night to ask star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, the longest-tenured Giant, if he would prefer to play somewhere else.
“I don’t,” Lawrence said after the Giants’ 34-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. “Just keep leading. Eventually the wall will break. That’s just what I’ve got to do as a leader.
“I think everyone as an individual has to look at themselves and see if they’re executing, if they’re in the right spots, if they’re doing...

The New York Giants surrendered their third-straight 30-point game in Week 9, as the San Francisco 49ers won 34-24.
Early on, it looked as though the Giants were going to make a game of it. They marched down the field on their first drive to score another game-opening touchdown, then pushed the 49ers to fourth down on their ensuing drive. But San Francisco was able to convert the fourth down and ultimately scored a touchdown on that drive. The Giants didn’t allow the 49ers to be explosive, but they did allow San Francisco to be methodical and efficient.
“Thought we...
