It only took one half to see which Giants coach will be fired next
New York Giants v Detroit Lions | Nic Antaya/GettyImagesThe New York Giants and interim head coach Mike Kafka had the chance to show the rest of the NFL that things would be different with Brian Daboll gone by either competing with or possibly upsetting (dare we dream?) the 10-2 New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. To put it mildly, that didn't happen.
The Giants went into halftime of their first game without recently fired defensive coordinator Shane Bowen down 30-7, though many of those points came via special teams blunders. Marcus Jones had a long punt return touchdown, and the Giants handed New England a free possession by fumbling on a kickoff.
