A year ago the New York Giants were getting ready to begin their first training camp under new head coach Joe Judge, a hire which received plenty of criticism at the time and received more scrutiny the more Judge spoke to the media. After starting 0-5, it looked like many of those criticisms were dead on.
Yet the Giants hit their stride, sweeping the eventual division champion Football Team and winning four straight games to vault themselves into contention in a very, very bad NFC East. Three straight losses to quality teams sunk their season, but the Giants’ 6-10 finish was still good enough to put them in second place in the division and head into the offseason with a lot of positivity.
