The New York Giants took the field on Sunday night with an opportunity to regain the lead in the NFC East. The only thing standing in their way? The Cleveland Browns.
Without offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, quarterback Daniel Jones and cornerback James Bradberry, the odds were certainly stacked against New York. And as a result, they were uncharacteristically aggressive.
Unfortunately for Joe Judge & Co., that aggressiveness did not pay off on offense, while the conservative approach on defense basically allowed quarterback Baker Mayfield to have his way with things.
The good news? The Giants are just one game back in the division and will play a meaningful Week 16 game. Who saw that coming in September?
