The Giants ended a rough season with a stunning 27-10 victory over the Eagles on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, and now have their sights set on waking up to a better tomorrow.
The list of opponents for 2024 has been completed.
The Giants had a record of 6 wins and 11 losses, good for third place in the NFC East.
Next season, the team will play home games against the Saints, Buccaneers, Ravens, Bengals, Colts and Vikings, in addition to the annual NFC East home and away series with the Cowboys, Eagles and Commanders.
The Giants are off to games in Atlanta, Carolina, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Seattle.
Games against the Colts and Vikings were played as scheduled, as they, like the Giants, finished third in their respective divisions.
QB Jalen Hurts injured his throwing finger in a sack of Bobby Okereke, and his status for the Eagles' playoff game in Tampa this week will be closely monitored.
“At this point, we’re just taking it one day at a time,” Hurts said. “It's very disappointing and crazy, but I've never experienced anything like that.”
When asked what happened to his finger, Mr. Harts replied, “My finger just popped out.”
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. He got hurt and then came back and tore it up. So, yeah, let's take a look. ”
WR Darius Slayton caught five passes for 62 yards in the game, achieving season milestones of 50 receptions and 750 receiving yards, and earned an additional $200,000 in incentives.
However, Slayton seemed disappointed that his teammates said he would have to pay for the postgame dinner.
“Yeah, I heard that too,” Slayton said with a laugh. “But I don't know if some of the people saying that weren't the right people. Like. [Tommy] You could say that about DeVito, but like Darren Waller and Tyrod. [Taylor]I feel like it's not the money I earned.
When the Giants failed to score a touchdown on their first offensive series, a markedly poor trend for the entire season was set.
They finished the season without scoring a touchdown on their first possession, marking the first time since 1997 that they had finished a season without a touchdown.
WR Jarrin Hiatt's rookie season ended on a whimper.
He caught one pass for five yards, but was sidelined for good late in the first quarter with a hamstring injury.
Hyatt finished his first season with 23 receptions, 373 yards, and no touchdowns.
Waller completed a 23-yard pass in the second quarter, but had to be ejected with a neck burner. Waller was able to return.
Cornerback Nick McLeod is out with a back injury, giving rookie cornerback Tre Hawkins an opportunity to play.
Two rookie starting pitchers, cornerback Deonte Banks and center fielder John Michael Schmitz, who are the Giants' top picks in the 2023 draft, were unable to overcome season-ending injuries and did not play in the game.
Banks (shoulder) missed the final two games of his promising first NFL season.
Schmitz missed three games early in the season, but started 13 games in his debut season with the Giants.
With Schmitz out, Ben Bredeson filled Schmitz's center position from right guard.
Mark Groinski came off the bench to start at right guard.
