4 things we learned from the Giants’ 34-17 victory over the Cowboys

I don’t think there was…or at least I don’t think there should have been… much player evaluation going on during today’s meaningless New York Giants game against the Dallas Cowboys. (Did the Giants keep Kenny Golladay because he caught a TD pass from Davis Webb in the 2022 season finale in Philadelphia?) Both franchises had disappointing seasons, both will see upheaval to a greater or lesser extent in their coaching staffs during the off-season, and both have had defenses that have been pretty offensive to their fans this season. Whoever the next Giants head coach is will not be analyzing...

NY Giants-Cowboys winners and losers: Giants lose while winning, again

The New York Giants finished their season with a 34-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, losing draft position while winning a game for the second straight week. Let’s review with our unique ‘Kudos and Wet Willies’ for the final time during the 2025-26 season.

Kudos to …

Gunner Olszewski — Before Sunday, Olszweski had never had more than two receptions in a game, and his career high in yards was 39. Without Wan’Dale Robinson and Theo Johnson the Giants needed someone to catch passes, though, and the six-year veteran return man stepped up. He caught eight passes in nine...

Giants-Cowboys: Grades from a Week 18 win

Giants-Cowboys: Grades from a Week 18 win

The New York Giants become the 1972 Miami Dolphins in these “meaningless” games down the stretch of the season. It’s only meaningless in the sense of the mission – get to the playoffs and WIN! Still, the game meant a lot for draft position and it does mean something for the players; it’s just very Giants like to win games when the team is out of contention, which ultimately affects what fans are forced to care about now – the draft.

Nevertheless, New York found its way into their fourth win to conclude a very disappointing season. The Giants had...

NY Giants updated 2026 NFL Draft order: Current 1st-round pick after Week 18

NY Giants updated 2026 NFL Draft order: Current 1st-round pick after Week 18

The New York Giants will not hold the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

It took two years, but the Giants finally won two consecutive games in a row. Last week they beat the Las Vegas Raiders 34-10, and this week they beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-17. The wins certainly feel good, and offer a promising glimpse of the future for the Giants’ offense, but there are definite draft implications.

The Giants would have controlled the No.1 overall pick if they lost the first game against the Raiders, and still would have controlled the No.2 overall pick with...

NY Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys final score, results, draft order, recap NFL Week 18

The New York Giants used a fast start, explosive plays through the air and a strong second half to pull away from the Dallas Cowboys for a 34–17 win on Sunday — a result that means they can select no higher than No. 3 in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The opening quarter was a back-and-forth battle of field goals. Giants kicker Ben Sauls put New York on the board first with a 45-yard field goal, before Dallas answered with a 22-yarder from Brandon Aubrey. Sauls added another kick late in the quarter to make it 6–3, but the Cowboys closed...

NY Giants-Cowboys, NFL Week 18: Live in-game updates, scores, discussion

The New York Giants finish their 2025-26 season on Sunday when they host the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. ET.

Dallas (7-8-1) is hoping to avoid a third straight losing season.

NY Giants head-coaching rumors: Kevin Stefanski situation worth watching

NY Giants head-coaching rumors: Kevin Stefanski situation worth watching

The New York Giants are widely expected to cast a wide net as they search for their next head coach. It’s also generally accepted that this coaching cycle doesn’t have a “slam dunk” coaching candidate like Mike Vrabel returning to the New England Patriots or Ben Johnson waiting on the Chicago Bears.

That, however, could change after Week 18.

Reports are piling up that the Clevland Browns are likely to move on from head coach Kevin Stefanski.

The latest, and most strongly worded, report comes from NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Schultz writes that sources around the NFL believe that Stefanski...

NY Giants keeping Joe Schoen can work, if they get the right head coach

NY Giants keeping Joe Schoen can work, if they get the right head coach

As the final day of the 2025-26 NFL regular season dawns, it appears that the New York Giants are going to retain embattled general manager Joe Schoen. Report after report in recent days has indicated that despite overseeing a team that has gone 12-38 since the beginning of the 2023 season that is the choice the Giants intend to make.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic joined a chorus on NFL insiders reporting similar information when she wrote on Saturday that Schoen “appears to be safe for now.”

That will not be a popular decision with many in the Giants’ fan...

NY Giants roster moves: 3 starters to IR before Week 18 game vs. Cowboys

The New York Giants made a series of moves on Saturday to set their roster for Sunday’s season finale against the Dallas Cowboys.

Wan’Dale Robinson, 2 others placed on IR

The Giants placed three starters — wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (ribs), cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (knee), and defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle/toe) on injured reserve Saturday.

Robinson passed 1,000 receiving yards for the season for the first time in his career in Week 17. Interim head coach Mike Kafka said during the week that Robinson was “sore.”

Survey results: NY Giants fans split on the team’s future

The future is… Well, it might not be now for the New York Giants, but it will be soon.

The Giants have one more game left in the 2025 season, their Week 18 finale against the Dallas Cowboys. Then on Monday, the coaching search will begin in earnest when the Giants will submit their list of interview requests to the NFL.

And for one last time this season we asked Giants fans whether they feel the team is headed in the right direction. And while we’ve gotten the most positive results in some time, fans are still split on the...
