If anybody has been clearer about how things needed to change fast for the New York Giants, it has been their owner, John Mara.
After winning their fourth championship in 2012, the Giants have been one of the league's worst teams. They have gone to the postseason just twice since their Super Bowl victory and have lost 10 more games in nine of their 13 seasons.
It has led to Mara publicly expressing his frustrations with the team, which was once a proud franchise. And with the longtime owner now facing a new challenge, having been diagnosed with cancer just a few weeks ago, New York's primetime victory on Thursday night had a bit more meaning for the 70-year-old.
