The 2024 season is 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 since 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.[1] A commorative 100th anniversary patch was made for the season.

Following a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, the Giants suffered their seventh losing season in eight years and were knocked out of NFC East title contention, extending their division title drought to 13 years. They became the first team to be eliminated from playoff contention after a Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys.[2] 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.

Week 1: Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants – Game summary
Quarter 1 2 34Total
Vikings 7 7 14028
Giants 3 0 306

at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Game information

The Giants had an atrocious start to the 2024 season. Graham Gano got the Giants on the board first after rookie CB Andru Phillips forced a fumble. From that point it was all Vikings. Adoree' Jackson was flagged for a controversial pass interference on a third and long, setting up the Vikings first touchdown. The Vikings went on a 99-yard drive capped by a Justin Jefferson touchdown to take a 14-3 halftime lead.

The second half wasn't much better for the Giants. The Vikings opened the third quarter with a touchdown drive to make it 21-3, then Daniel Jones threw a screen pass that Andrew Van Ginkel intercepted at the line of scrimmage and walked in for a touchdown. The Vikings won 28-6.

Jones struggled in his first start since his ACL tear 10 months prior and finished with a 44.3 passer rating. LB Darius Muasau had an interception in his NFL debut.

Week 2: at Washington Commanders

Game information

After kicker Graham Gano suffered an injury on the opening kickoff, the Giants became the first team to lose a game in which they scored three touchdowns and allowed none.[98] Except for the kneel down to end the first half, the Commanders scored field goals on all their possessions.

Malik Nabers scored his first NFL touchdown in the second quarter, but had a critical 4th down drop late in the 4th quarter to give the Commanders the ball back to win the game. Head coach Brian Daboll was heavily criticized for not signing a second kicker and undermanning the Giants for being unable to kick extra points and field goals that could have changed the outcome of the game.

Game information

Eric Gray fumbled the opening kickoff, and Deshaun Watson found Amari Cooper on the first play from scrimmage to give the Browns a 7-0 lead 11 seconds into the game. Staring down the possibility of an 0-3 start, the Giants found their composure and their pass rush got to Watson, sacking him 8 times during the game.

On the Giants second drive Daniel Jones threw an interception that was negated by a roughing the passer penalty. After that play, the offense immediately got going and tied the game on a Devin Singletary 1-yard touchdown run. In the second quarter, Malik Nabers took over, snatching a deep ball from a defender, then capped the drive off with an acrobatic touchdown catch to give the Giants a 14-7 lead. On the Browns next drive, Brian Burns made his first impact play as a Giant, strip-sacking Watson with to give the Giants the ball back with 32 seconds left in the half. Nabers scored his second touchdown of the quarter 4 plays later, and the Giants went into the locker room with a 21-7 halftime lead to a stunned Browns crowd.

Singletary fumbled again on the Giants second half opening half drive, but the Browns couldn't capitalize on the field position. Safety Jason Pinnock sacked Watson on the next drive, and Dustin Hopkins missed the ensuing field goal attempt. The Giants offense stalled for the rest of the game, and the Browns took advantage of a short field on a 4th quarter drive; Watson connected with Cooper for his second touchdown of the game, and Jerry Jeudy hauled in the two-point conversion to make the score 21-15 Giants. However, the Giants defense buckled down, forcing a fumble and two fourth down stops on the Browns last 3 drives. Singletary had a lane to score at the end, but kneeled down at the 1-yard line to run out the clock. The Giants won 21-15 and saved their season.

Week 4: vs. Dallas Cowboys

Quarter 1 2 34Total

Giants 3 6 3315

at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Game information

16.22 million people watched the Giants-Cowboys game, setting a record for the most viewed game in NFL history.[98] The fans were treated to a penalty-filled game, with 11 being called on the Cowboys. On the Giants opening drive, while in field goal range, TE Daniel Bellinger was inexplicably called for a facemask while replay showed it was his facemask being grabbed. On the Cowboys first touchdown of the game, the referees picked up a holding penalty on TE Jake Ferguson despite him grabbing a Giants defender, paving the lane for Rico Dowdle to score.

The Giants moved the ball well, but failed to get in the end zone, instead settling for five field goals, and lost an anticlimactic affair 20-15.

Malik Nabers, despite finishing for 12 receptions and 115 yards receiving, suffered a concussion late in the 4th quarter. RB Devin Singletary also got hurt in the loss.

Week 5: at Seattle Seahawks

Game information

Before the game, WR Malik Nabers and RB Devin Singletary were ruled out of the contest. RB Eric Gray got the starting nod and had 3 receptions on the opening drive, but fumbled on 4th & Goal, which Seahawks S Rayshawn Jenkins recovered in the end zone and returned it untouched for a 101-yard touchdown for Seattle. Gray thought he crossed the plane, but the ruling on the field was a fumble and stood upon review. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. stepped in and gave the Giants offense life in the second quarter. Daniel Jones found Wan'Dale Robinson on a 7-yard pass to tie the game at 7-7. Despite the Giants outgaining the Seahawks 220-90 at halftime, both teams were tied 10-10.

On the Seahawks opening drive of the third quarter, Deonte Banks stripped DK Metcalf in field goal range, and Jones immediately responded with two deep balls to Darius Slayton, the latter a 30-yard touchdown to take a 17-10 lead. In the fourth quarter and leading 20-13, Brian Burns sacked Geno Smith and the Giants took a two-score, 23-13 lead with time slipping in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks found rhythm on a late fourth quarter drive capped off with a Jaxon Smith-Njigba touchdown and then forced a three-and-out to get the ball back with 1:40 to play. On the first play of the drive, Smith ran for 32 yards to put the Seahawks in field goal range to tie the game. On the field goal attempt, Isaiah Simmons jumped over the A-gap without making contact with the long snapper, blocked the kick, and WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton recovered the ball and ran untouched for a Giants touchdown, sealing the 29-20 victory.

The Giants defense had 7 sacks of Smith, and their 22 sacks through 5 weeks were the most in the NFL. Tyrone Tracy finished with 129 rushing yards after taking over for Gray. Darius Slayton had 8 receptions for 122 receiving yards and a touchdown.

After the game, Brian Daboll revealed that Special Teams coach Michael Ghobrial drew up the blitz for the game-winning field goal block on Tuesday and waited until all game to use that play for the first time. Isaiah Simmons received the game ball and was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance.[99]

Week 6: vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Game information

Despite the Bengals coming into the game with the 31st ranked defense in the NFL, the Giants offense struggled mightily for much of the night. The only score in the first half came from a Joe Burrow 47-yard touchdown run on 3rd and 18.

In the third quarter, rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. managed to score his first career touchdown to tie the game at 7-7, which also happened to be the first touchdown the Giants had scored at home all season. Despite this, the Giants missed more opportunities to score, which included two missed field goals by kicker Greg Joseph, the second of which sealed the game.

The Giants suffered their third consecutive home loss to begin the season.

Week 7: vs. Philadelphia Eagles

[edit]
Week 7: Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants – Game summary
Quarter 1 2 34Total
Eagles 0 14 7728
Giants 0 3 003

at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Game information

In Saquon Barkley's first game against his former team, he made his presence felt. Despite a defensive battle through the first quarter and a half, with the first seven drives combined between both teams ending in punts, Barkley broke through with a 55-yard run to put the Eagles in the red zone. He then scored a 3-yard rushing touchdown to cap off the drive and put the Eagles up 7-0.

This proved to be more than enough to beat the Giants as they were held out of the end zone for the third time in four home games. At the end of the first half, Daniel Jones was able to connect with rookie TE Theo Johnson for a touchdown, but it was nullified due to Johnson being penalized for offensive pass interference. The Giants then had to settle for a field goal and entered halftime trailing 14-3.

It didn't get any better in the second half as the Giants went 3-and-out on three of their six offensive drives in the half. Daniel Jones was benched early in the fourth quarter for Drew Lock, who was unable to get anything on offense either.

The Giants lost their fourth consecutive home game to start the season. Coincidentally, their last home win happened against the Eagles in Week 18 the prior season, which was Barkley's final game as a Giant.

Week 8: at Pittsburgh Steelers

Game information

In a penalty-ridden game for both teams, touchdowns were hard to come by until the 3rd quarter, when Calvin Austin returned a punt 73 yards to the house for the Steelers. A total of three touchdowns were negated by penalties- two for the Steelers and one for the Giants. The Giants were penalized 11 times for 65 yards.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. scored the only Giants touchdown on a 45-yard run early in the fourth quarter. However, the ensuing 2-point conversion attempt failed miserably as Nabers was hit immediately while being targeted behind the line of scrimmage.

The Giants had two final chances to try to tie the game but turned the ball over both times. First, Daniel Jones was strip-sacked by T.J. Watt and then on their next drive, Jones threw an interception to rookie CB Beanie Bishop to officially seal the win for Pittsburgh.

The Giants lost their third consecutive game and fell to 2-6. This is the seventh time in the last eight seasons that the Giants started 2-6 or worse in their first eight games.

Game information

On the Giants' second drive of the game, they managed to run the ball effectively against Washington. However, Daniel Jones fumbled while the Giants were in field goal range and Bobby Wagner recovered the ball, taking it deep into Giants territory. Initially it had been ruled an incomplete pass, but Washington challenged it successfully, overturning the call. Several plays after the turnover, Jayden Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin in the end zone to give Washington the lead.

Right after, the Giants went on a 16-play touchdown drive, which consumed nearly ten minutes. Jones connected with TE Chris Manhertz for a 2-yard touchdown to end the drive. This was the first passing touchdown for Daniel Jones at MetLife Stadium since Week 17 of the 2022 season. Even though the Giants managed to tie the game, the Commanders would score two more touchdowns before halftime, leading 21-7.

In the fourth quarter, Daniel Jones and the Giants attempted to mount a comeback, scoring his first rushing touchdown at MetLife since 2022 as well. He also managed to throw another touchdown to rookie TE Theo Johnson for his first career NFL touchdown. However, the Giants failed to recover the ensuing onside kick, officially ending the game.

This is the first time since the 2021 season that the Giants got swept by Washington, and only the third time since 2011. Additionally, this is the first time the Giants lost to all three divisional opponents at home in the same season since 2003.

Panthers 7 3 70320

at Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany

Game information

The Giants traveled to play their first ever game in Germany, and fourth international game all time, dating back to 2007.

Daniel Jones turned the ball over in the red zone twice and got sacked on a flea-flicker play in which he had two wide-open receivers, in what proved to be his final start as a Giant.

Despite this, the Giants managed to tie the game at 17-17 heading into overtime. However, despite winning the coin toss, Tyrone Tracy Jr. fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, giving the Panthers the ball in field goal range. A few plays later, Eddy Piñeiro hit the game-winning field goal to hand the Giants their fifth consecutive loss.

This was also their first ever international loss. Their previous three international games had all been in London, where they remain unbeaten.

Following the game, and during their bye week, Daniel Jones was benched in favor of Tommy DeVito. Drew Lock remained the second-string quarterback to his disappointment. Additionally, the Giants named Tim Boyle their third string quarterback.

Shortly after, Daniel Jones was officially released, ending his tenure in New York. Through six seasons with the Giants, he finished with a career record of 24-44-1 as a starter, and a postseason record of 1-1.

  • Recap, Game Book
Game information

The Giants played their first game without Daniel Jones starting, as he was released earlier in the week. Tommy DeVito made his first start of the season, but the Giants couldn't get anything going on offense until garbage time in the 4th quarter, when Devin Singletary managed to score his first touchdown since Week 3. Tyrone Tracy Jr. fumbled again for the second straight game, this time a costly fumble in the red zone, which took more points off the board.

Defensively the Giants could not stop the Buccaneers at all, as they ran the ball with great ease all day. The Giants defense went their tenth consecutive game without recording an interception, having not gotten one since rookie LB Darius Muasau did during their Week 1 loss to the Vikings. This ties the 2017 Oakland Raiders for the longest streak in NFL regular season history without recording a defensive interception.

With the loss the Giants not only failed to clinch the NFC East for the 13th year in a row, but they've now secured an 0-6 record at home for the first time since 1974.

Giants 7 3 01020
Cowboys 3 10 14027

at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas

Game information

This game averaged 38.8 million viewers, making it the fourth most-watched Thanksgiving Day game on record as well as the fifth most-watched NFL regular season game on record, dating back to 1988.

Prior to the game, it was announced that Tommy DeVito had injured his forearm during the Buccaneers game, meaning that Drew Lock would get his first start as a Giant.

During the Giants opening drive, Drew Lock managed to escape the pocket during a blitz on 3rd & 6 from the Dallas 29-yard line, breaking free and appearing to run all the way to the end zone for a touchdown. Upon review, it was determined that Lock had stepped out-of-bounds at the 1-yard line, but on the next play, Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran the ball in to put the Giants up 7-3. This marked the first time the Giants held a lead during a game since Week 5 against Seattle. This was also the first time the Giants had scored a touchdown on their opening drive since Week 2 against Washington.

Despite the strong start, the Giants offense then struggled for most of the remaining game. On the first play of their second drive, Drew Lock threw a pick-6 to Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, giving the Cowboys a 13-7 lead which they would not relinquish. Then on the opening drive of the second half, Lock fumbled, with Overshown recovering the ball. This gave Dallas great field position, and they capitalized, scoring their first offensive touchdown of the game to go up 20-10.

In the fourth quarter down 27-13, the Giants managed to put together a much-needed touchdown drive, with Drew Lock scoring on an 8-yard run, pulling the game to 27-20. The Giants had a chance to get the ball back and tie the game by stopping the Cowboys, but on 3rd and 2 right after the two-minute warning, Cooper Rush connected with Brandin Cooks to pick up a first down, allowing the Cowboys to kneel down and end the game.

The Giants lost their seventh straight game to fall to 2-9, as well as losing their eighth straight to the Cowboys dating back to 2021.

The Giants defense also set an NFL regular season record by going their 11th straight game without recording an interception. Their lone interception on the season happened during their Week 1 loss to Minnesota.

After the loss, it was revealed that both Theo Johnson and Dexter Lawrence would miss the remainder of the season, suffering a Lisfranc foot injury and dislocated left elbow respectively.

at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Game information

Drew Lock started the game with eight consecutive incomplete passes, the first quarterback to do so since Cam Newton in 2017.

Even though the Giants defense managed to hold the Saints to 14 points, the Giants offense was very anemic for most of the game until the 4th quarter. Down 14-3, the Giants went on a six-minute, 13-play drive, which was capped off by a Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushing touchdown, his third in as many games. On the ensuing 2-point conversion attempt, Malik Nabers managed to catch a tipped pass from Drew Lock and cross the plane, bringing the score to 14-11. This was the first successful 2-point conversion attempt for the Giants all season, having been unsuccessful in their first six tries.

The Giants had a chance to score a field goal and tie the game to force overtime on their final drive, but Graham Gano's attempt was blocked, sealing their eighth straight loss (the team's longest losing streak since 2019), and falling to 2–11.

Despite the loss, the Giants recorded their first interception since week 1, courtesy of CB Tre Hawkins III, although it was later announced that he had suffered a season-ending back injury in this game. This ended the longest streak in NFL regular season history at 11 games without an interception.
