New York’s late-season evaluation process continues to take center stage as the franchise transitions into a new direction, and this week’s matchup against Washington presents another crucial data point for a roster now navigating the post–Brian Daboll era under interim leadership.
With both clubs eliminated from the playoff picture, for the Giants, Sunday is about identifying foundational pieces for 2026 and determining which players can become pillars of a rebuilt identity.
For New York, one of those critical evaluations centers on the run game, where Tyrone Tracy stands out as a key figure whose usage and impact will go a long way toward determining whether the offense can secure meaningful traction against a Commanders defense that has been unable to stop anyone all of 2025.
