Mike Kafka ends Shane Bowen era in long-overdue Giants shake-up

It took two weeks of watching the defense struggle for interim head coach Mike Kafka to make the move former head coach Brian Daboll couldn't. Giants insider Art Stapleton reported Monday morning the news: the New York Giants have officially parted ways with defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.

Bowen’s exit comes after yet another fourthu2011quarter collapse -- this time a 34u201127 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, where the defense gave up 17 unanswered points and surrendered a 69u2011yard walku2011off touchdown to running back Jahmyr Gibbs in OT.
