EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed Thursday that assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will be the offensive play-caller this season.
New York opens the season on the road Sunday against the Washington Commanders, with Kafka calling plays and Russell Wilson as its starting quarterback.
Kafka called the offensive plays most of his first two seasons under Daboll and with the Giants. But late in that second season, there was noticeable discontent, and Kafka had play-calling duties revoked at times, multiple sources have since told ESPN.
