The NFL understandably lower down on the Giants’ prime time video games in 2024 after thrusting New York into the highlight backfired tremendously in 2023.
The Giants drew 4 prime begins within the first six weeks of the 2023 season and went 0-4 whereas being outscored 108-24 (a 27-6 common rating).
