2024 New York Giants season
Summary
The 2024 season was the New York Giants' 100th in the National Football League (NFL) and their third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen—the first time since Tom Coughlin was the coach that a tandem lasted three or more seasons. The Giants failed to improve on their 6–11 record from 2023 following a Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints. This is the first season since 2017 without Saquon Barkley on the roster, as he signed a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles during the offseason. A commorative 100th anniversary patch was made for the season. Following a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 12, the Giants suffered a losing season. They were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive season after a Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys, as well as the first team of the year to be eliminated. A loss to the Baltimore Ravens in week 15 locked the Giants into finishing last in the NFC East for the first time since 2021. Additionally, a loss to the Atlanta Falcons the following week gave the Giants their first 10-game losing streak in franchise history. Following a loss to the Eagles in week 18, the Giants were swept by all of their division rivals for the first time in franchise history. This season was plagued by poor quarterback play, numerous injuries to key players (particularly losing starting tackle Andrew Thomas to a Lisfranc injury), and poor pass protection similar to the previous season. Starting quarterback Daniel Jones was benched and eventually released mid-season due to his poor performance. The ACL tear that ended his previous season as well as the return of several neck injuries played a significant factor in limiting his passing abilities. Furthermore, the 14 losses were the most losses of any Giants season, surpassing 2017 and 2021. Their .176 winning percentage was their worst since 1974. Despite that, one of the few bright spots for the Giants was their Week 17 home win against the Indianapolis Colts, which prevented the Giants from going winless at home and eliminated the Colts from playoff contention.
