The team announced Tuesday that its first-round draft pick in 2009 was signed to replace fellow wide receiver Victor Cruz on the roster.
To quote captain obvious, the Jets and Giants won't play each other in Levi's Stadium. But they should play in the playoffs. They are good enough and competent enough. But are they confident enough?
All close games in the NFL have pivot points, plays or lack thereof, that seal a team's fate. The Giants have tempted fate several times this season, and they seemingly have come out a loser each time.
The veteran wide receiver disclosed Monday that he needs season-ending surgery to repair a small tear in his left calf. A date for the procedure has not been set, Cruz said.
"It's a new era, so forgive me, but I'm not making the announcement that I'm not coming back due to surgery after a loss like this," the legendary Giant told Joe & Evan.
The Giants went nose to nose with the Patriots, the NFL's best team. They could've and should've won, but they didn't.
It's rare when a team truly gets a big lift from a loss. Only time will tell if the Giants, who are in their bye week, will qualify in that category after suffering a dramatic 27-26 defeat to the New England Patriots.
The Giants had the mighty Patriots beaten at several points during the fourth quarter on Nov. 15, 2015, but couldn't seal the deal. Here are some of the best images from the 27-26 loss.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. The New York Giants put together a game effort, but the offense's inability to burn the game clock handed the New England Patriots an opportunity that the defending champs gladly accepted.
The Giants had the Patriots, again. And then, with the swiftness of a 54-yard Stephen Gostkowski field goal, they didn't.
At some point this year, the New York Giants may learn how to finish games. It's been their weakness all season and it got them again on Sunday for the fourth time.
Frank Giaramida was surprised with Scarlet, a 7-month-old German shepherd puppy, on the field of MetLife Stadium during the Giants game.
Stephen Gostkowski made a 54-yard field goal with one second left and the New England Patriots rallied to beat the New York Giants and remain undefeated on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
The New York Giants' injury list was mostly a push this week, as holdover injuries to Victor Cruz, Prince Amukamara, J.T. Thomas and Larry Donnell have not improved, so all four players have been ruled out against the New England Patriots. New York also pulled the plug on both Will Beatty and Jon Beason this week, as both were placed on season ending injured reserve.
The Giants are a sort of kryptonite for the favored Patriots. So a Giants win shouldn't come as a surprise.
