Giants vs. Buccaneers: 3 reasons for optimism in Week 12

Giants vs. Buccaneers: 3 reasons for optimism in Week 12

The New York Giants will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at MetLife Stadium as Big Blue comes out of an action-filled bye week.

The Giants, of course, made the change at quarterback, benching Daniel Jones and making third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito the starter instead of Drew Lock, who was signed in the offseason and spent the whole season as QB2.

The Giants currently have a five-game losing streak and have yet to have a win at home this season.

The Bucs have a four-game losing streak they are trying to snap themselves.

Can Giants' Tommy DeVito find a 'spark' with Malik Nabers?

Can Giants' Tommy DeVito find a 'spark' with Malik Nabers?

The New York Giants will have a new quarterback, Tommy DeVito, under center this Sunday when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium.

The move was made to hopefully ignite some spark in the offense, which is the lowest scoring in the NFL this year. But there are other questions that have arisen such as how the switch from Daniel Jones to DeVito will affect star rookie wideout Malik Nabers.

Nabers has 61 receptions and 607 receiving yards on 94 targets this season, including at least five receptions and 50 receiving yards in seven of his first eight...

Report: Finger-pointing, eroding trust have infected Giants' locker room

Things have been getting uglier and uglier in East Rutherford since the airing of “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” this past July.

General manager Joe Schoen’s handling of running back Saquon Barkley has been widely criticized, and head coach Brian Daboll’s falling out with former defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and other assistants has left a stain on this regime.

Following the benching of quarterback Daniel Jones this week, the erosion has been kicked into high gear.

Defensive captain Dexter Lawrence publicly questioned the decision, while other anonymous players offered even harsher takes.

One player called DJ’s benching...

Daniel Jones weighs leaving Giants for remainder of season

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones showed rare emotion as he took the podium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for the final time on Thursday.

Recognizing what is to come, Jones read from a prepared statement in which he effectively said goodbye after thanking the organization, his teammates, and the fans.

That goodbye is likely to become official sooner rather than later.

Jones admitted that consideration has been given to requesting his release or leaving the team for the remainder of this season. Whatever decision he makes, it will likely come following Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Giants, Daniel Jones discussed adjusting injury clause before benching

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones gave what is likely his final press conference as a member of Big Blue on Thursday.

The former No. 6 overall selection in the 2019 NFL draft was uncharacteristically emotional in his delivery. He thanked the franchise and fans and accepted accountability for his role in the team’s recent failures.

“Football’s a team game, certainly. But the quarterback is a big piece of that, and I understand that. For my part and my piece of it, I take responsibility,” said Jones, who is now at the bottom of the Giants’ depth chart.

His “benching”...

Cowboys vs Commanders: 2 players Dallas should use more moving forward

The focus throughout the rest of this season has to be on 2025 and beyond.

Change has been a constant for the 2024 Dallas Cowboys. Poor player performance and numerous injuries on both sides of the ball have caused Dallas to mix things up on a consistent basis this season.

As the Cowboys play out their final seven games of the regular season, more changes are to be expected as Dallas shifts their focus from winning this year to the future. With that in mind, we take a look at two players the Cowboys should use more moving forward.
