DETROIT — Sunday’s game for the Giants against the Lions can easily be categorized for them as playing out the string, a dreaded place to be for any team in any season.
At 2-9, the Giants have the second-worst record in the NFL. They’re in the throes of a five-game losing streak. And they fired their head coach, Brian Daboll, last week.
Six more games remain on the schedule before everyone departs for an offseason of unknowns and unanswered questions — the most murky of which is who will be their head coach in 2026? When this season does come to its merciful end on Jan. 4, the Giants’ first order of business will be filling that most critical role.
Sunday, they will be staring across the Ford Field turf at Lions head coach Dan Campbell, who five years ago was a somewhat unconventional hire, having never been a full-time head coach before — outside of his stint as an interim head coach for the Dolphins in 2015.
