The New York Giants are 2-7 at the midway point of the 2023 NFL regular season and trending in the wrong direction. They’ve lost quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) for the year and are again among the league-worst in man games lost.
The offense is performing at a historically poor level and the defense is inconsistent at best.
It’s been a tough slog for second-year head coach Brian Daboll and his crew, and the Pro Football Focus grades reflect that.
