The New York Giants (2-7) have opened as 4.5-point road favorites over the Carolina Panthers (2-7) for their Week 10 game this Sunday at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.

The Giants were 4.5-point favorites then as well. They won the game, 31-28, but failed to cover the spread.

The over/under for the upcoming game opened at 42.5 total points and the moneyline is currently...

Let’s review some of the key plays, sequences

Here are some of the key plays and sequences of plays in the New York Giants’ 27-22 los to the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Quarterback Daniel Jones finally threw a touchdown pass at home. The recipient was veteran tight end Chris Manhertz. Jones also had a rushing touchdown in the game.

He finished the game 20 of 26 for 174 yards with...

‘Kudos and Wet Willies’ review: Giants-Commanders winners and losers

Who played well, who didn’t, and what is next for the 2-7 Giants

What happens now for the 2-7 New York Giants?

First comes a trade deadline that is likely to see the Giants shed at least one player, Azeez Ojulari, for draft capital. Then a trip to Germany to face the also 2-7 Carolina Panthers, who upset the New Orleans Saints 23-22 on Sunday. Next comes a bye week.

After that?

Maybe a different quarterback. Maybe other changes. What we know for sure is that the next eight games will mark yet another year of the Giants just playing...

2024 NFL draft: Giants currently slated to select 7th overall

The New York Giants were defeated by the Washington Commanders, 27-22, on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, dropping their record to 2-7 on the season.

The loss, coupled with several other wild results around the league, moved the Giants up in the 2025 NFL draft order. They are currently slated to select No. 7 overall, per Tankathon.

Giants sent large scouting contingent to Penn State-Ohio State

Giants sent large scouting contingent to Penn State-Ohio State

The New York Giants were again on the road over the weekend, hard at work scouting some of the top NCAA schools and players ahead of their Week 9 game against the Washington Commanders.

It’s unclear if general manager Joe Schoen personally attended any games this past weekend but the Giants were very active, especially for one key game.

Local and national scouts were also spread out across the county as the team gathered data in preparation for the 2025 NFL draft.

Here’s a quick look at some of the games where the Giants had a confirmed scouting presence:

Giants' Brian Daboll defends analytics use, 2-point attempts

Giants' Brian Daboll defends analytics use, 2-point attempts

The New York Giants fell to 2-7 on the season following a 27-22 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon, and there is no shortage of blame to go around.

Within all of that is a micro-debate over head coach Brian Daboll’s decision to rely on analytics and attempt two separate two-point conversion attempts.

The first came with just under 10:00 remaining in the fourth quarter when the Giants were trailing, 24-10. Quarterback Daniel Jones had just truck-sticked two Washington defenders en route to the endzone and momentum felt like it was shifting.

However, instead of kicking the point-after...

Giants-Commanders Week 9: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants couldn’t rally on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, falling to the Washington Commanders, 27-22.

The loss was a wasted effort for quarterback Daniel Jones, who had his strongest performance in front of hometown fans since January of 2023. He accounted for 228 yards and three touchdowns, and had a fourth called back on an egregious offensive pass interference call.

Five-plus dropped passes and an underwhelming defensive performance, coupled with questionable clock management, certainly didn’t help matters.

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ Week 9 loss.

Offensive snaps: 65
Defensive snaps: 62
