The NY Giants’ full schedule was released Wednesday, as Joe Judge’s team looks to make the postseason for the first time since 2016

The NY Giants’ 2021 schedule was released Wednesday evening, and the path to the postseason in head coach Joe Judge’s second season features a navigable stretch of home games at MetLife Stadium.

Of the NY Giants’ eight home games, only two contests are against teams that made the NFL Playoffs in 2021; the defending NFC East champion Washington Football Team, and reigning NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams.

Meanwhile, it is a much more daunting road, away from the friendly confines of the swamps of Jersey, with road clashes against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Additionally, the NY Giants will travel to Soldier Field, to take on the Chicago Bears — who were able to select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields No. 11 overall, following a draft night trade with New York.

According to various NFL sources, reporting from Thew New York Post, and NorthJersey.com, FanSided has learned the NY Giants’ full schedule, ahead of Wednesday evening’s release.
