Can The Giants Handle The Second Half Schedule?
The Giants schedule gets pretty difficult from here. After their late afternoon date in Tampa, they host New England before their bye.
Post-bye? Washington, New York, Miami, Carolina, Minnesota, and Philadelphia. That looked a little better when the season began. Right now, we’re talking about facing two undefeated squads (New England and Carolina), two teams steadily improving (Miami and Minnesota), and the Eagles, who always play the Giants tough.
The Giants were unable to secure their tough games to this point—one against a healthy Dallas team, their early season loss to the Falcons, and their most recent heartbreaker in New Orleans. Can they stay in contention with this schedule? That might be the biggest question they face from here on out.
