New York Giants
In an alternate reality, the New York Giants could be in the midst of an amazing, unexpected, fun season.
Think of the possibilities.

If there was one game I had chalked up as a loss for the 2025 New York Giants before the season even began, it was this road trip to play the Detroit Lions. The Lions are loaded and were a preseason favorite to contend for a Super Bowl berth. They’re a very physical team and bullied the Giants when they last played in 2022. The Lions lost both coordinators in the off-season, though, and they found themselves on the fringe of the playoff hunt at 6-4 entering the game. Still, with Jaxson Dart not yet cleared to return and a...

It took all of two games for New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka to land in the crosshairs of a hot debate about a late-game decision. This one, of course, Kafka’s decision to try for the touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line with three minutes left and the Giants trying to protect a three-point lead against the Detroit Lions.
The Giants failed, of course, Jake Bates barely made a 59-yard field goal to force overtime and the Giants lost, 34-27.
“Our decision was a correct one. I stand by it,” Kafka said after the game. “We took...

The New York Giants fought valiantly in a 34-27 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but once again found a way to lose a game it looked like they were going to win. Let’s get to the ‘Kudos & Wet Willies’ review.
Mike Kafka — We can argue, and argue, and argue some more about going for it on fourth-and-goal at the 6-yard line with three minutes to play while leading by three points. I LOVED it.
Kafka has watched the Giants’ defense play all year. He knew full well there was zero chance...

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers deleted this tweet shortly after posting it, but unfortunately for Nabers, it’s not that easy. The internet is forever.
Thanks to the quick eye of The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, who shared a screenshot of the post, we know what Nabers thinks about Mike Kafka’s decisions in Sunday’s overtime loss against the Detroit Lions.
Nabers is currently on injured reserve, and had surgery to repair a torn ACL in October. Prior to the injury, he started four games for the Giants, contributing 18 catches on 35 targets for 271 yards and two touchdowns.

The New York Giants pushed the Detroit Lions to the limit in their 34-27 overtime loss on Sunday. Again, the Giants blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. Shane Bowen’s defense harassed Jared Goff for much of the game, but their inability to consistently fit the run and stop explosive plays bit them in the rear end once again.
Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 219 yards on just 15 carries with two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown. Missed tackles continue to hurt the Giants’ defense. The Giants established a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter on...

The New York Giants lost 34-27 to the Detroit Lions in an overtime thriller on Sunday.
We could talk about how the Giants never trailed in regulation on the road against a team that was a 13.5-point favorites. We could talk about how a rag-tag offense pulled out all the stops to keep pace with one of the best in the NFL — including an amazing touchdown pass from the Giants’ return specialist to their back-up quarterback.
We could talk about the work Mike Kafka has done to put the Giants in position to win despite being without his starting...

The New York Giants looked like they finally had a breakthrough on their hands on Sunday. Until they didn’t. Jameis Winston threw for 357 yards, Wan’Dale Robinson exploded for a career day, butDetroit’s Jake Bates hit a 59-yard field goal with :28 left in regulation to force overtime, and the Giants lost, 34-27.
Jahmyr Gills ran 69 yards for a touchdown on the first play of overtime for the winning score. The Giants reached the Detroit 27-yard line on the ensuing drive, but Aidan Hutchinson sacked Winston on fourth-and-5 to end the game.
New York dropped to 2-10 and 0-7...

The New York Giants, without rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart for a second straight week, invade Ford Field on Sunday to face the Detroit Lions in an NFL Week 12 matchup. The Giants are 2-9 and trying to snap a five-game losing streak. The Lions are 6-4, currently on the outside in the battle for NFC playoff spots.
The Giants are massive 13.5-point underdogs, per FanDuel Sportsbook. The line was 10.5 points on Friday before Dart was unexpectedly ruled out as he has not yet passed the NFL’s concussion protocol. The Giants will have veteran Jameis Winston at quarterback for the...

New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks in inactive for Sunday’s Week 12 game against the Detroit Lions. Banks was on the injury report this week with a hip injury, and did not practice Friday after being limited earlier in the weeks.
The Giants will field a makeshift secondary. Starting cornerback Paulson Adebo will miss a fifth straight game with a knee injury, and safety Tyler Nubin will be out for a second straight week with a neck injury.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) and edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) had been ruled out on Friday. Both will be missing their second...

The New York Giants hit the road this Sunday for a Week 12 battle with the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET on FOX, as the Giants look to snap a five-game losing streak and find some stability under interim head coach Mike Kafka.
This will be the 48th all-time meeting between the Giants and Lions, with New York trailing the series 21–24–1. The teams haven’t faced off since Week 11 of the 2022 season, and the Giants’ last win in the matchup came back in 2016 — a 17–6 victory at MetLife Stadium....
