5 storylines for Giants vs. Patriots in NFL Week 13

For a 2-10 football team, the New York Giants certainly are an interesting, entertaining group. What will happen on Monday when they meet the 10-2 New England Patriots in Foxboro, Mass.? Here are five storylines to pay attention to.

Will Jaxson Dart be at QB for the Giants?

The rookie quarterback practices in full on Wednesday. That does not mean he is playing on Monday. As of Wednesday night, Dart was still in the concussion protocol.

As well as Jameis Winston has played in two games, and as much fun as Winston is to both watch and to be...

Giants head coaching search: Rams DC Chris Shula a betting favorite

Giants head coaching search: Rams DC Chris Shula a betting favorite

Chris Shula, a rising star in the NFL coaching ranks as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams, has emerged as the betting favorite to become the next head coach of the New York Giants.

Per the prediction market Polymarket, Shula currently has a 43% chance of becoming the Giants head coach in 2026.

Polymarket lists other top candidates as follow:

  • Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak (13%).
  • Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka (7%).

NY Giants coach Mike Kafka unfazed by the President calling him ‘crazy’

NY Giants coach Mike Kafka unfazed by the President calling him ‘crazy’

It isn’t every day a football coach, especially an interim one, gets called “CRAZY” by the President of the United States. That is what happened to Mike Kafka of the New York Giants on Sunday when he made a hotly-debated fourth-down decision late in an overtime loss to the Detroit Lions.

Asked about being harpooned by the President, Kafka didn’t seem to mind the second-guess. Rather, he seemed to enjoy the attention.

“This is one of the coolest things that, I mean just for me, being in this position, you get the opportunity to make tough calls. For me, that’s...

NY Giants injuries: Jaxson Dart, Dexter Lawrence updates, latest news

NY Giants injuries: Jaxson Dart, Dexter Lawrence updates, latest news

New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence will not practice on Wednesday ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots due to an elbow injury, head coach Mike Kafka announced before practice. Quarterback Jaxson Dart is still in the NFL concussion protocol, but will be a full practice participant.

Lawrence had a season-ending dislocated elbow last season. His 2024 season has not been up to the standard he set the last three seasons. Perhaps we can now infer that a lingering elbow issue might be part of the cause.

Lawrence played only 36 of 69 defensive snaps...

The New York Giants get the national spotlight on Monday night when they travel to Foxboro, Mass. to face the New England Patriots in the final game of NFL Week 13.

Andrew Thomas is playing well, but the NY Giants tackle is unimpressed

Andrew Thomas is playing well, but the NY Giants tackle is unimpressed

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas has played some of his best football since 2022 after returning to the lineup this season following a 2024 Lisfranc injury. Thomas, though, believes he still needs to get better.

“Right now it’s a double-edged sword. I’m grateful to be out there. Obviously, I missed a lot of ball, so it’s fun being out there with my teammates, but the other part of that is obviously I hate losing, and then I would say just personally I’m not at the level that I want to be at,” Thomas said. “So I’m striving every...

NY Giants add a cornerback with Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks injured

NY Giants add a cornerback with Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks injured

The New York Giants on Tuesday signed former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Myles Purchase to their practice squad.

Purchase, 22, is a 5-foot-9, 203-pound player from Iowa State who signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft. He was released from the Chargers’ practice squad three weeks ago.

The Giants have been dealing with injuries at cornerback. High-priced free agent-signee Paulson Adebo has missed the last five games with a knee injury. Perhaps this move to add some depth is an indication that Adebo could finally be heading to injured reserve.

Deonte Banks missed...
