It appears as though the New York Giants have learned from their past transgressions. They've seen firsthand how detrimental it can be to win games after already being eliminated from playoff contention. Look no further than their 16-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
In a clash between two squads with their sights set on next season, the Giants ostensibly wanted it less. They had several opportunities to overtake the Vikings and emerge victorious, though it didn't feel like there was any sense of urgency to do so.
New York continues to run the clock out on a disastrous 2025 campaign rather than fighting for pride with its eyes on the bigger picture.
